SAN FRANCISCO—August 10, 2020—Intertrust has been named by Streaming Media magazine to its annual list of the 2020 Streaming Media 50: The Companies That Matter Most in Online Video. Intertrust was selected by a panel of streaming media experts based on the company’s innovative work in online video. The Streaming Media 50 is considered one of the most prestigious and authoritative lists of providers in the digital media technology industry.

As a pioneer in digital rights management (DRM) and trusted distributed computing, Intertrust has been recognized by Streaming Media as among the world’s most respected technology companies. Intertrust ExpressPlay™ DRM, the company’s cloud-based multi-DRM service, has been adopted by leading content and service providers to help them meet the ever-expanding consumer demand for easy access to video streaming while also offering unparalleled security for the content rights of owners.

“The annual Streaming Media 50 list shines a spotlight on the industry’s most important technology suppliers and platforms, as chosen by our editorial team,” said Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen, Streaming Media editor-in-chief and vice president. “Whether a big company or a small one, an industry veteran or a startup, these companies stand out from the crowd due to their innovation and commitment to the customer.”

Intertrust ExpressPlay comprises a cloud-based multi-DRM service, broadcast security based on open-standard Marlin DRM, and anti-piracy services, with proven scalability in the largest OTT streaming platforms globally. It also offers ExpressPlay DRM Offline to enable secure streaming of premium content through the Kiora content delivery platform.
