Trusted Partner Network (TPN) – New Shield Tier Systems

Introducing the TPN New Shield Tier System

Lixai is proud to support the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) initiative with the launch of its Next-Generation Shield Tier System. This framework ensures stronger content protection, improved compliance, and a clear pathway for Service Providers and Content Owners to achieve global security standards.
