Partnership Brings Simple, Plug-and-Play Content Protection to Global Media Customers
BERKELEY, Ca. — Jan, 13, 2026 — Redflag AI, an AI-powered content protection platform, and Akamai, the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online, today announced Redflag AI has joined the Akamai ISV Catalyst partner program to make it easier for media and entertainment companies to activate advanced watermarking and real-time piracy enforcement on Akamai’s globally distributed cloud platform.
As one of the first vendors selected for Akamai’s newly launched ISV Catalyst program, Redflag AI becomes Akamai’s first watermarking partner, giving customers a seamless way to layer industry-relevant anti-piracy protection directly into their existing Akamai workflows. With the integration already complete, Akamai customers can enable Redflag’s content protection and monitoring technology with minimal engineering effort, effectively turning it into a plug-and-play feature.
“Our goal has always been to make content protection both powerful and easy, and this partnership does exactly that,” said Max Eisendrath, CEO and Founder of Redflag AI. “Akamai is trusted by many of the world’s major studio, streamer, and sports organizations. By becoming the first watermarking vendor in their ISV Catalyst program, we’re giving those customers a simple way to activate next-generation content security and live-stream piracy protection directly through the infrastructure they already trust.”
Redflag AI’s watermarking and automated piracy enforcement give Akamai a high-impact feature that can be activated quickly and at scale.
“We curate our ISV partnerships to connect customers with quality solutions that work seamlessly with our platform,” said Zak Putnam, Senior Director, Business Development, Akamai. “Redflag AI’s anti-piracy technology is exactly what this program is designed to deliver — a proven solution that enhances our ability to solve real customer problems.”
With many major streaming platforms, studios, sports leagues, and broadcasters already relying on Akamai, the integration offers Redflag AI customers a direct and efficient path to adoption without extensive onboarding or custom engineering.
