When managing expensive and sensitive in-progress video projects, production teams need to know their data is secure without sacrificing efficiency. EditShare built MediaSilo with the actual production process in mind, adhering to the core philosophy that security should enable, rather than hinder creativity.
MediaSilo provides an array of flexible security features that allow customers to implement and maintain the exact controls their specific workflows require. Here is a deep dive into the powerful security features MediaSilo uses to protect your content.
1. Project Access and Authentication
The first line of defense for any sensitive media asset is ensuring that only authorized individuals can get into the platform. MediaSilo supports multiple secure login methodologies that can be customized based on the user’s relationship with your company:
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adds an extra layer of security to the login process requiring an authentication code to be entered for access.
- Magic Links: A more secure login workflow than the traditional username and password combination. Enter your email address and, if it is registered with the platform, a magic link will be sent to your inbox. Simply open the email and click on the link to be logged in.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Ideal for managing your internal employees.
2. Permission Based Roles for Custom Workflows
MediaSilo utilizes granular permission based roles that allow you to fine-tune exactly what users can see and do. This enables highly specialized workflows. For example, a user out in the field can be assigned an “upload-only” permission, allowing them to send footage to a project without even being able to view the files they just uploaded.
Meanwhile, other collaborators can be given specific permissions to only view, interact with, or send content. The platform’s permissions are so precise that you can host multiple clients within the exact same workspace without them ever knowing the others are there.
3. Advanced Asset Protection: Visual and Forensic Watermarking
To prevent piracy and unauthorized sharing, MediaSilo provides two powerful forms of watermarking for your content:
Visual Watermarking: This acts as a powerful visual deterrent for leaks and copying. As a user watches a video, MediaSilo can embed customizable text or images directly into the real-time video stream. You can choose to burn in the viewer’s name, email address, IP address, and the exact date of viewing.
Forensic Watermarking: Taking asset protection to the next level, this feature places an invisible fingerprint over the content. Even if a user attempts to bypass security by recording their computer screen with a smartphone or manipulating the file data, MediaSilo can still extract the hidden identifier from as little as 20 seconds of video. If a leak occurs, this fingerprint will trace the file back to the exact person, date, and time the content was wrongfully shared.
4. Insights and Analytics
The vast majority of media leaks do not occur due to malicious hacks. They happen when people with legitimate access share content when they aren’t supposed to. MediaSilo combats this by providing detailed insights and analytics.
Administrators can monitor exact engagement metrics, tracking who is watching, when they watch, and for how long. From a security standpoint, this allows you to immediately spot anomalies, such as a single account watching a video from multiple geographic locations at the same time. Catching this behavior allows you to identify unauthorized credential sharing and shut down problems early.
Conclusion
By offering flexible secure authentication, granular role based permissions, unbreakable watermarks, and analytics, MediaSilo delivers peace of mind while actively enhancing creative workflows!
