GeoGuard protects digital content rights holders against the threat of users gaining illicit access to media by ‘spoofing’ their location.
Geo-location fraud is proving a popular and easy way for consumers to gain illicit access to content, with 60% of VPN users accessing content via their VPN every day. GeoGuard was founded this year to address the growing need for dependable solutions that are able to detect and protect against geo-location circumvention methods. The geo-filtering solution GeoGuard offers is based on technology developed for the geo-protection of the iGaming industry. In order to validate the reliability of its product to detect geo-location fraud, GeoGuard commissioned Cartesian to test the effectiveness of its solution to identify circumvention mechanisms.
The results of the test along with the methodology and test parameters that were used are available for view from GeoGuard.
