Company mission
Smart Protection's mission is to minimize the negative effects that piracy has on the sales and brand reputation of the owners of digital assets.

Our take
The illegal hosting of films, games, and music has been a problem since the rise of the internet, and despite strict piracy laws, the problem is getting worse. Illegal hosting of digital assets is now found on streams, torrents, social media, and online stores, making it increasingly difficult for companies to locate and remove illegitimate content.
Smartprotection provides a digital asset protection service, using cloud technology and machine learning to facilitate its customers to monitor online content across all formats, analyzing them in order to identify illegitimately hosted files. In addition to digital content, the company also provides bespoke protection for physical brands, analyzing marketplaces for the sale of counterfeit products such as fashionwear or collectibles.
Piracy is more common than ever and existing mitigation attempts have failed, so smartprotection’s approach of bespoke brand protection and cloud-based file tracking shows great potential to make a change. Furthermore, the company’s use of machine learning helps them monitor over a far greater scope than would be possible otherwise, showing further potential to successfully mitigate piracy for its clients.
