Cisco Will Use Data Science To Counter OTT Password Sharing

OTT video service credential sharing – or password sharing – cost the media industry $500 million in direct revenues during 2015, according to research published by Parks Associates in July.

The anti-sharing fix harnesses the kind of algorithmic data science that the credit card industry uses to identify fraud and was demonstrated at IBC recently.
