InCyan is an AI-powered digital content protection platform that monitors, identifies, watermarks, and analyses digital assets across the internet to help rights holders prevent unauthorized use and maximize revenue.
What is InCyan?
InCyan is a cloud-hosted platform for protecting images, video, audio, and text assets. It takes digital content as input and outputs discovery alerts, identification matches with 99% forensic-grade accuracy, invisible watermarks anchored on blockchain, and business intelligence reports. The platform is developed by InCyan, a team of PhD-led research scientists specializing in AI for content protection.
Key Features
- **Discovery — AI-powered scraping and monitoring across online publications, social media, peer-to-peer networks, and digital bookstores; real-time alerting when new instances of your content appear.
- **Idem Identification — Multi-modal fingerprinting that matches content even when only 10% of the original remains; survives cropping, re-encoding, compression, and speed changes; supports images, video, audio, and text.
- **Prevention (Invisible Watermarking) — Blind, indelible watermarks embedded imperceptibly into media; ownership and licence data hashed and timestamped on blockchain for cryptographic proof of provenance.
- **Insights — Asset prominence tracking across traditional media and social platforms; customisable dashboards, sentiment analysis, and predictive analytics for content strategy decisions.
- **TorrentWatch — Continuous peer-to-peer network monitoring with advanced audio matching; generates evidence-grade reports for enforcement action.
- **BlockWatch — ISP blocking compliance monitoring that independently verifies whether court-ordered website blocking is properly implemented across ISPs and mobile operators; produces reports suitable for court filings.
- **Automated Enforcement — Rapid search delisting in under 60 minutes for infringing content; integrated with discovery and identification so you move from detection to enforcement in one ecosystem.
Who is it for?
- Rights holders and publishers (e.g., Getty Images, Shutterstock, AP) — monitor and enforce copyright across millions of assets, using identification to detect unauthorized use even when heavily transformed.
- Music and film industry organisations (e.g., BPI, RIAA, IRMA) — track P2P infringement, verify ISP blocking compliance, and generate court-admissible evidence.
- Live event teams (e.g., The BRIT Awards) — centralise, secure, and distribute content during events using InCyan’s Blueprint DAM platform, streamlining workflows and IT logistics.
What can you do with InCyan?
- Detect unauthorised content use automatically — Discovery scrapes digital publications, social media, and file-sharing services; identified matches can trigger takedown workflows without switching platforms.
- Watermark and verify ownership at scale — Embed invisible watermarks into assets before distribution; verify authenticity by checking the embedded watermark against the blockchain record via API.
- Gain market intelligence on asset prominence — Insights tracks where your images appear across thousands of publications and social media, providing competitive analysis and data-backed licensing recommendations.
- Monitor ISP blocking compliance — BlockWatch confirms whether court-ordered blocks are properly enforced by ISPs and mobile operators, delivering evidence-grade reports for legal renewals.
How does InCyan work?
After requesting a demo and onboarding, you integrate InCyan via API or the web dashboard. The platform continuously discovers content across sources, fingerprints assets using Idem, and routes matches to enforcement workflows. Watermarked assets can be tracked through the same identification engine. All solutions are cloud-hosted with no on-premises infrastructure required.
