Outsmarting the pirates – An intelligence-led approach

Piracy is a global problem and is now on an industrial scale. Today’s video pirates are increasingly sophisticated players who are continuously upping their game with robust, savvy operations and smart technologies to exploit vulnerabilities at every link of the distribution chain. To outwit and shut them down requires a multi-faceted approach with intelligence at its core. With a blend of human and digital intelligence, it is possible to build a comprehensive and detailed picture of the complex and constantly evolving pirate ecosystem. We can use this to crack the criminal mind-set, upset the economics of their business models, and identify emerging trends in preparation for the next wave. Anti-piracy technologies, policies and legal frameworks are all informed by this deep intelligence. This ensures that as an industry we adopt the right strategies and technologies to combat the growing piracy threat. And importantly that we can measure success in tackling it too.
