Product Revolution: VSNEXT.AI & VSNArena

Our product department reached new heights this year, successfully expanding our portfolio into strategic verticals with two major launches:

• VSNEXT.AI: We introduced a revolutionary AI layer for our MAM (Media Asset Management) system. This allows users to harness the power of artificial intelligence to automate metadata extraction, content analysis, and smart archiving.

• VSNArena: Our brand-new AI-powered DAM (Digital Asset Management). Built with a high-availability, multitenant architecture on AWS, Arena is designed to handle the most demanding digital asset workflows with unprecedented speed.

• VSNCrea Evolution: We didn't stop at new products. VSNCrea underwent a significant performance overhaul, focusing on usability and operational flexibility to empower planning teams worldwide.

Uncompromising Security: NIST Compliance

In an era where data integrity is as valuable as the content itself, we have taken a giant leap forward in Cybersecurity. In 2025, VSN officially achieved NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) compliance.

What NIST Compliance Means for Broadcasters:

NIST compliance demonstrates that VSN's cloud and on-premise solutions meet the most rigorous international cybersecurity standards. This certification is particularly significant for:

• Government-affiliated broadcasters requiring federal compliance

• International media organizations needing standards-based security frameworks

• Sports leagues and enterprises handling sensitive content and rights information

• Regulated industries (healthcare, government) utilizing VSN's platforms for media management

The NIST certification framework addresses critical security domains:

• Access control and identity management

• Encryption for data in transit and at rest

• Incident response capabilities and threat detection

• Continuous monitoring and security assessment

This certification positions VSN as a trusted partner for enterprise broadcast solutions that demand both innovation and uncompromising security standards.

This milestone reinforces our commitment to protecting our clients' assets against evolving digital threats. By aligning our frameworks with these rigorous international standards, we ensure that our cloud and on-premise solutions provide the most secure environment possible for high-tier media operations.

Engineering Excellence & The AI-Driven Dev Workflow

In 2025, we transformed our internal DNA. By integrating Generative AI into our development cycle, we have optimized everything from documentation to requirement reviews. This wasn't merely a tooling upgrade, it represented a strategic shift toward AI-augmented software development that delivered measurable improvements across the product organization.

Key Technical Achievements:

• Quality Assurance: Drastic reduction in regression bugs and optimized release generation processes.

• Cloud Leadership: We completed the AWS migration for VSNCrea and deployed VSNArena as a cloud-native powerhouse, while significantly reducing hosting costs for our ecosystem.

These technical achievements demonstrate VSN's commitment to modern software engineering practices.

Strengthening the Ecosystem: Strategic Partnerships

Interoperability is at the heart of the modern media landscape. This year, we closed key technology alliances with industry leaders, including Amagi, VISAIC, Harmonic, and Telestream. These partnerships demonstrate VSN's strategic positioning within the broader broadcast technology ecosystem, ensuring customers avoid vendor lock-in while benefiting from best-of-breed solutions integrated seamlessly into VSN platforms.
