Secure - Protect - Monetize
Monetization strategies require content owners to protect their assets from viral distribution. Highwinds enables our customers to create delivery business rules enforced by the CDN. With Highwinds' secure delivery and content protection products, end users must view the media through the workflow designated by the publisher.
Secure Delivery with HTTPS
HTTP Caching can be secured using SSL. HTTPS offers the same feature-rich delivery capabilities as standard HTTP with the addition of encrypted communication and secure identification of the CDN caching platforms, resulting in protection of your content.
SSL can be used to protect streaming content, static website assets, games and more. Additionally, SSL enables publishers to deliver unsecured content to secured web pages to avoid browser warning messages.
Benefits:
Protect your valuable assets
Prohibit users from intercepting your stream by protecting it between the server and the network
What can't be stolen must be bought
Profit from your assets by eliminating illegal distribution of your content
Perform both HTTP and HTTPS using the same host name
Many CDNs make it difficult to manage content offered via HTTP and HTTPS, but Highwinds uses proprietary software to allow delivery of both protocols using a single virtual host
Protect your users' identity
With secure delivery, your customers' identity and personal information are protected, giving them confidence in viewing your content, playing your games, etc.
Secure static asset delivery
By securing the delivery of static site assets, you avoid browser warnings that can scare away customers
