Streaming platforms have invested heavily in DRM, watermarking, and backend protections to safeguard premium content. Yet piracy and revenue abuse continue to grow, often without attackers ever touching the video stream itself. Instead, attackers increasingly target the mobile app through repackaged binaries, modified playback logic, credential harvesting, and direct API abuse.
During this Tech Chat session, Amanda Sutliff, Director of Product Marketing at Guardsquare, will explore how attackers manipulate client-side applications to bypass traditional protections and how media and streaming providers can close this gap by protecting app integrity, detecting runtime abuse, and validating trust before content is delivered.
“Streaming providers have invested heavily in protecting the stream, but attackers increasingly exploit the mobile app itself,” said Sutliff. “By protecting app integrity and detecting tampering at runtime, streaming platforms can stop piracy earlier in the attack chain while preserving the viewer experience.”
In addition to the presentation, Guardsquare will be exhibiting at Booth #W1459 during NAB Show 2026. For more information about the event, visit https://www.nabshow.com/las-vegas/.
