INSIDE’s Downloadable DRM Fusion Agent reduces implementation costs and time-to-market dramatically by eliminating the dependencies on device manufacturers for embedded DRM solutions. DRM Fusion Agent is easy-to-integrate with new and existing applications—offering rich features and optimization for new and existing mobile devices in the market.

“INSIDE’s DRM products strengthen security across all platforms including Mobile, Embedded and Desktop, to enable digital media content to be delivered to all legitimate consumers on a variety of viewing devices.
