Entirely unreferenced unambiguous advertisement. From start to finish, this article is written in promotional POV-pushing prose that's usually also deliberately vague and can't be fixed by editing:
- a private, limited liability global software security and media technology company
- The company develops end-to-end software security, content management and customer care and billing solutions for the delivery, protection and monetization of digital content in digital TV, IPTV and mobile environments.
- Irdeto regularly builds additional security mechanisms into its technology to prevent piracy. Irdeto works with federal authorities, local police and customers to break pirate business models and combat piracy in the pay television market.
- In February 2011, the company launched ActiveCloak for Media, the first dynamic security solution to protect and monetize high-value digital entertainment assets throughout their entire lifecycle and across a range of consumer devices.
- Irdeto regularly builds additional security mechanisms into its technology to prevent piracy. Irdeto works with federal authorities, local police and customers to break pirate business models and combat piracy in the pay television market.
The article is essentially unreferenced; there are a number of external links to press releases. The presence of an elaborate but unreferenced history of the business suggests conflict of interest. This business is apparently a wholly owned subsidiary of Naspers and may warrant a line or two in that article. Contested speedy and proposed deletion, not mine.

- Comment: Entirely unreferenced History sections are often copyvios of the company website, just like in this case. I removed most of the section because it was taken from [1]. --Pgallert (talk) 07:08, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
