Securing the best of the best
Connected security for DVB, IPTV and OTT: Replacing legacy CAS without Hardware swaps
While OTT streaming continues to expand, millions of digital video services still rely on set-top boxes (STBs) for DVB coverage, efficient IPTV delivery, and hybrid OTT distribution. These long-lived deployments must evolve to meet new content protection requirements, prevent piracy, and comply with emerging cybersecurity standards.
Verimatrix ReAccess introduces a connected, studio-grade security solution that replaces legacy Conditional Access (CA) systems and enables secure, zero-touch software updates for both connected and non-connected STBs.
Seamless CAS Replacement Without Hardware Swaps
Traditional DVB, IPTV and OTT Conditional Access Systems (CAS) are tightly linked to hardware, making upgrades costly, slow, and disruptive. Verimatrix ReAccess removes this barrier with a secure, over-the-air (OTA) deployment model that enables operators to modernize existing set-top boxes without physical intervention.
By combining advanced software security, including Verimatrix Code Protection and Whitebox Cryptography, ReAccess ensures a smooth transition from legacy systems while maintaining studio-grade content protection standards.

Eliminate CAS Vendor Lock-In
Replace incumbent Conditional Access Systems without costly set-top box replacements or complex integrations.
Deploy quickly with minimal impact
Implement secure CAS replacement over the air (OTA) in weeks instead of months, without disrupting service continuity.
Smooth, low-risk migration
ReAccess delivers a secure path to modern CAS replacement. No hardware swaps, no service downtime, and no vendor lock-in.
Traditional DVB and IPTV systems rely on hardware-based Conditional Access (CAS) solutions, which are difficult and costly to replace at scale. Verimatrix ReAccess enables fast, secure CAS migration entirely over the air. No hardware changes required.
The primary advantage of Verimatrix ReAccess is its enabling over-the-air (OTA) deployment of an updated CAS. Leveraging the efficiency of the IPTV CA solution to address any connected set top box (STB). The solution is delivered as a head-end Verimatrix VCAS product and a dedicated software tailored to each STB model already deployed with the incumbent CAS.
In two-way deployments, the OTA deployment penetration rate can be measured and tracked, reducing the length of a CAS replacement, from months to weeks.
