The NAGRA Connect client and player complement the end-to-end security solution to enable comprehensive security for VTV across set-top boxes, web browsers, open devices and connected TVs.
This announcement marks the first major rollout of NAGRA cloud.SSP at scale, supporting a major service provider operating in different countries.

“Securing both the content and the service is key to Vodafone and NAGRA security solutions are best-in-class,” commented Nuno Sanches, Group Head of Fixed Product Development at Vodafone. “As we continue to roll out VTV to more of our operating countries, we rely on NAGRA to ensure that we remain at the forefront of service protection and provide the very best product offering to our consumers.”

The NAGRA cloud.SSP security platform is a software-as-a-service solution running on AWS that enables Vodafone to centrally manage all its security needs, including those that extend beyond traditional content protection, via a single platform. It meets all Hollywood studio and sports rights holder requirements for Enhanced Content Protection and can be delivered via public, private or hybrid cloud. NAGRA Connect is a converged CAS/DRM client for connected set-top boxes and televisions. Its secure player extends the viewing experience securely to all portable media devices.
