The latest release of nanoStream Analytics introduces an upgrade to nanoStream Guardian, enhancing security across your streaming use cases.
As part of nanoStream Control—the security and intelligence layer of the nanoStream Platform—this update provides deeper visibility and stronger protection for your streaming infrastructure.
Guardian & Token Revocation
We are giving you more control and visibility over your content security. This release focuses on managing playback token misuse, making it faster to detect suspicious activity and revoke compromised tokens directly from your dashboard.
Here is a closer look at how we’re helping you protect your streams and prevent unauthorized access.
How this benefits you
- You can stop unauthorized viewers faster: Instead of jumping between different tools to find and block a leaker, you can now kill a suspicious playback token with one click directly in the Guardian View. This cuts down the time an unauthorized person can stay connected to your stream.
- Focus on the data that matters: With a broad set of filters, you can narrow down the data to exactly what is relevant for your investigation, giving you targeted insight into what is actually happening.
What’s New?
Guardian
- One-Click Token Revocation: You can now stop playback token misuse the moment you see it. The Guardian allows you to invalidate suspicious tokens immediately without leaving the dashboard.
- Advanced data filtering options: The list of suspicious playbacks can now be condensed using a wide range of filters tailored to the case you are investigating. In addition to stream filtering, you can now filter by tag, IP, JTI, referrer, country, provider, and user — all of which can be freely combined.
- Dedicated Management Panel Clicking any row in the misuse table opens a detailed modal with a new Playback Token Revocation panel. This gives you a clear “Revoke” button to cut off access instantly.
- Playback Token Control per IP: If you’re investigating a specific IP, you can now see all playback tokens associated with it and revoke them directly from the IP detail screen.
- Complete overview of playback token payload details: Key information from playback tokens now appears directly in the main Playback Token view (including JTI and user), and the full payload is available in a detailed modal when you click on a table row. In addition to the user and JTI, you can now also see token restrictions such as allowed domains, IPs, organizations, and streams. The view also shows whether the stream will be forcibly disconnected once the token expires (“Force Disconnect”), as well as any customer-specific metadata (“Custom Data”).
