Content Security

Your content is valuable. Protect it from unauthorized access with Media Vault, our highly scalable URL authentication option.* Media Vault enables your website to generate a unique time-based URL to your content each time it’s requested by your visitors. Because the URL expires within minutes, your content and your bandwidth are protected from abuse by spiders, bots, and deep linking. Even if another site were to embed the link, it would no longer be functional—preventing others from publishing your content without your permission.

Media Vault allows you to set start and stop dates/times, perfect for time-sensitive content. And since each URL is unique to each user request, it can’t be copied and emailed to unauthorized individuals. You can also limit access to a bock of IP addresses. Best of all, Media Vault controls don’t result in server latency, thanks to a token-based system that avoids unwanted three-way handshakes, common to other methods of authentication.
