How layered protection preserves revenue, reduces risk, and accelerates engineering
OTT platforms are losing revenue every day, not just to piracy, but to app tampering, credential abuse, emergency engineering fixes, and preventable churn. As streaming ecosystems grow more complex, the financial impact of inadequate security compounds quietly across revenue, operations, and customer trust.
The ROI of OTT Streaming App Security: A DoveRunner Research 2026 Report examines how these security gaps translate into measurable business losses, and how a layered security approach delivers tangible returns. Drawing on aggregated, anonymized telemetry from real OTT environments and supported by industry benchmarks, this report helps executives understand where security investments pay off and how to justify them.
What this report reveals:
- Why piracy and app-level threats create compounding losses that are often underestimated in OTT financial models
- How a layered security approach shifts security from a cost center to a measurable business lever
- Where OTT platforms are recovering lost revenue and operational capacity after modernizing security
- How executives are modeling security ROI using defensible, conservative assumptions
- What strategic moves separate OTT platforms that contain risk from those that absorb it
When you finish this report, you’ll:
- Understand the true cost of inaction
See how piracy, app tampering, and reactive security workflows quietly erode revenue, delay releases, and increase churn over time. - Know how to protect revenue, trust, and operational efficiency
Learn how layered security reduces unauthorized viewing, improves app performance, and restores subscriber confidence—while freeing engineering teams to focus on innovation. - Be able to make a defensible business case for security investment
Use modeled ROI ranges, conservative attribution assumptions, and executive-ready frameworks to support budget decisions and board-level conversations.
Security is no longer just about risk reduction; it’s about protecting growth, efficiency, and long-term platform value.
