The security of your assets is our priority. Viostream works with technologies to provide the best protection for our clients’ Media, such as access controls and encryption applied to all Media uploaded.

Adding to that, Viostream offers features that enable the user to determine who can access the Media. It gives all the control to you when using Viostream to reach the right audience for your Media.

Restriction Profiles can be added to Media (Live on On-Demand), Sites, Events and Embeds. Read below the different types of protection Viostream offers.

• Restriction Profile - Restriction Profile is the name given to a group of restrictions created in Viostream. Restriction Profiles can protect Media with IP Range Whitelists, Domain Whitelists and Country Whitelists
