CANAL+ Group Joins Trusted Partner Network To Enhance Content Security

CANAL+ Group, a French audiovisual media company, has joined content security security initiative Trusted Partner Network (TPN) as a content owner member.

The new membership aligns with CANAL+ Group’s mission to safeguard its content and to choose partners who share the same goal. It also allows CANAL+ and STUDIOCANAL to leverage TPN’s standardized and centralized content security platform to increase efficiency and bolster its content security objectives.

TPN, powered by the Motion Picture Association and leveraging the MPA’s Content Security Best Practices, provides “a comprehensive framework for content security,” CANAL+ said, adding: “This empowers Content Owners like the CANAL+ Group to make efficient decisions regarding vendor partnerships. Service Providers also benefit by differentiating themselves and showcasing robust security preparedness to protect their clients’ content. Participation in TPN demonstrates a commitment to protecting valuable content and maintaining a standardized benchmark within the industry.”

Celine Boyer, CANAL+ head of content protection, said: “The benefits of joining the Trusted Partner Network extend beyond mere compliance with security standards; they encompass a common framework for content security, industry recognition, and strengthened relationships within the media and entertainment ecosystem. Through TPN, we have the opportunity to connect with partners and providers that are equally dedicated to raising awareness and security standards for the industry, protecting content throughout the supply chain.”

TPN President Terri Davies said: “We’re thrilled to welcome the CANAL+ Group to TPN and applaud the crucial role they are playing in maintaining the security and integrity of content. Through a shared commitment to content security, we greatly value facilitating collaboration and partnerships among content providers, service/software providers and assessors to share status, updates and best practices.”
