Protect your videos with industry-leading security

Cinema8 uses AES-256 encryption for video streaming and data protection. This is one of the most robust encryption standards available and ensures that your content is protected in transit and at rest, preventing unauthorised access or interception. 

We also support HTTPS delivery and secure key exchange protocols to maintain stream integrity. Combined with our ISO 27001-certified infrastructure and GDPR-compliant processes, plus optional features like password protection, DRM, and domain restrictions, you get a complete security framework designed to safeguard sensitive or high-value video content.

Educators can use Cinema8’s secure video hosting tools to protect lessons from unauthorised downloads while still making them accessible to approved trainees or students. Options include AES-256 encryption, password-protected access, and domain or IP restrictions to control where videos can be viewed. 

You can also disable player downloads entirely and track user-level engagement to ensure lessons are only being accessed by intended audiences. This is especially valuable for protecting intellectual property, paid course content, or sensitive training materials.

While encrypted video hosting offers strong protection, Digital Rights Management (DRM) adds an extra layer of security; especially for premium or high-value content. Encryption secures the stream, but DRM manages playback rights and prevents screen recording or unauthorised redistribution. 

If you’re streaming commercially licensed videos, subscription-based content, or proprietary training materials, DRM can help ensure compliance with licensing agreements and deter piracy. 

Cinema8 supports both encryption and DRM, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of protection that best suits your needs. Book a demo of our tools today to learn how we can help you meet your security expectations.

Cinema8 allows you to set time-based access controls so you can determine exactly how long viewers can watch your videos. You can set expiration dates, limit viewing to specific time windows, or revoke access at any point. 

This feature is ideal for time-sensitive events, temporary course access, or limited campaign availability. Combined with our other access control tools such as passwords, domain restrictions, and user authentication, you can deliver content on your terms while keeping it secure

While it is possible to build a secure video portal with open-source tools, achieving and maintaining enterprise-grade standards requires extensive expertise, ongoing updates, and strict compliance checks. You’d need to ensure encryption protocols, access controls, and hosting infrastructure meet certifications such as ISO 27001, and that your setup stays patched against emerging threats.

Cinema8 provides all of this out of the box. You get enterprise-grade encryption, secure video hosting, access management, and compliance-ready infrastructure without the complexity of managing it yourself. This means you can focus on creating and sharing content while knowing your video solution meets the highest security benchmarks. Book a demo of our security-first platform or choose a plan and get started right away.
