Imagine for a moment that you’ve successfully developed and launched your own custom apps for OTT and mobile streaming platforms. The content is dynamic, the design is user-friendly, the streaming delivery is in crystal clear HD, and you can see it on your audience measurement dashboard as your mobile VOD viewership climbs to record heights.
Now imagine for a moment that you’ve skipped the last few security updates on your streaming apps. At first, everything seems fine—but then suddenly, connections break, users lose access to the content they need, and that seamless experience you’ve worked so hard to create? It starts to crumble, leaving both you and your audience frustrated.
Cablecast Branded Streaming Apps solve this dilemma for you by providing a turnkey solution that not only makes OTT and mobile app development a breeze, but also keeps everything running smoothly in the background for the life of the app.
Branded Streaming Apps are ready to launch quickly on the most popular streaming platforms including Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, iOS, and Android. Plus, you get the added benefit of personalizing your app’s look and feel, from the logo and channel art to the channel name itself, all while managing everything remotely through the Cablecast Cloud Services dashboard.
But building and launching your app is only half the battle. After launch, you still need to maintain your app, including those crucial security updates. Here’s why it matters:
The Importance of Security Updates in OTT and Mobile Streaming App Maintenance
1. Identify Security Loopholes and Prevent Cyberthreats
In today’s digital landscape, threats are ever-present and cybersecurity should always be top of mind. Hackers are constantly searching for vulnerabilities to exploit, aiming to access sensitive data. Security updates are crucial for identifying and fixing vulnerabilities within your app's operating system. These vulnerabilities, if left unaddressed, can be exploited by attackers to compromise the entire application. Regular updates help preemptively close these security gaps, protecting your app and its users.
2. Maintaining Security Compliance
Implementing security updates is essential for compliance with data privacy and security standards. Regular updates demonstrate your commitment to protecting users' privacy and avoiding legal issues, thereby upholding your app’s reputation and reliability.
3. Enhancing Streaming App Functionality for a Smooth User Experience
Security measures contribute to overall app functionality by addressing underlying issues like crashes and freezes. This leads to a smoother, more reliable user experience, which can significantly improve user satisfaction.
4. Preventing VOD Content Connection Failures
Regular app maintenance and updates ensure your mobile and OTT streaming apps stay connected to the right sources. Regular app updates support uninterrupted access to your content, boosting the trust and satisfaction of your local viewers.
