Industries

Brands share similar objectives and face common threats, but differences matter.

Context matters. Product brands are clearly undermined by counterfeiting, media companies have content at risk of piracy. Sports brands often confront both. But the exact forms these take can often be quite different.

OpSec has developed distinct responses to the priorities and challenges faced by brands across industries. We understand that differences in business models, supply chains, consumers, and products demand a nuanced approach. So whether it is the reputational risks posed to utility and telecom companies by fraudsters, or the need to add subtle authenticators to luxury goods, we have the right answer for your industry.

Media and Technology

From inspiring media to innovative technology. We help protect it.

OpSec piracy protection

Some call piracy the victimless crime, but we see a very different picture

Media piracy is destructive. It diverts revenues that are intended for the creators of premium content, it often results in a poor experience for audiences, and it can be a source of funds for serious criminals. OpSec tackles media piracy across multiple channels and formats.

Product Authentication and Enhancement

Technology is a target for fakes, but we protect intangible value and trust

Counterfeit harms consumer and industrial technology as well as components. Brands rely upon authenticity for revenues and reputations while enhancement offers a distinctive, premium edge. We help deter fakes and add authenticity and impact to genuine products.

OpSec media and technology team

We may not have actual rock stars, but we do seek to perform at our very best

OpSec solutions for consumer products

If the hat fits, that is just the first step in convincing the consumer to buy it

These days, the average consumer is looking for more from their apparel and accessories. The production and materials that go into items may be more sustainable or performant, but brands need to convey that in the finer details. We offer components that carry the message.

OpSec counterfeit and trademark solutions

How do you tackle counterfeiters that use trademarks for their own ends?

In 2020, OpSec uncovered FurlaBee, a bad actor selling a counterfeit handbag. Being particularly thorough, this adversary had even registered FurlaBee as a trademark. Reluctant to expose the brand to some unique risks this case posed, Furla asked OpSec for a different approach.
