Akamai Locks Down Media With DRM Support, TippingPoint Trips Phishers, Verity Launches Business Search, Fujitsu, Software AG Team for SOA Integration

Akamai locks down media with Windows DRM

Akamai Technologies this week will introduce Version 2.0 of its Akamai Media Delivery offering, adding DRM (digital rights management) capabilities, enhanced Flash support, and new reporting tools. The DRM tools come from support for Microsoft’s Windows DRM, providing Akamai customers with a single portal through which to manage audio and video content as well as license delivery. Also added in Version 2.0 is support for secure Flash content streaming, aimed at protecting and monetizing Flash-based content; and new tracking and reporting features within a customer dashboard in the EdgeControl user interface portal.

The number of new anti-phishing filters totals between 20 and 30. Combining content filtering, pattern matching, vulnerability protection, and behavior-based detection techniques, the TippingPoint IPS guards against compromises of Web servers, blocks e-mail-based phishing attacks, and thwarts phishing exploits in Internet Explorer.
