Irdeto, a specialist in digital platform cybersecurity, and Middle East entertainment network, OSN, habe signed a new contract for Irdeto to provide its App Watch, anti-piracy services, app management and data analytics to the Dubai-based entertainment provider.

“Irdeto’s App Watch has made a true difference to our operations as we can protect against potential piracy more efficiently now,” said Melvin Saldanha, Director of Technology at OSN. “Irdeto’s solution will also provide insights on consumer behaviour which will help the company boost advertising strategies, enhance our portfolio.”
