Cerberus Tech Introduces Gateway Agent Functionality

Cerberus Tech has introduced gateway agent functionality within its Livelink cloud-native provisioning, orchestration, and automation platform for live video processing and transport.

This enhancement extends real-time visibility and control to edge encoding, decoding, and transmission devices, bridging the gap between cloud-based orchestration and on-premises operations to enable comprehensive control and monitoring from a single pane of glass. Visitors to the Cerberus Tech booth (W2425) at the 2025 NAB Show will have the chance to see Livelink demos featuring gateway agent functionality.

"While remote, cloud-enabled video delivery workflows can provide real-time data — and monitoring and alerting — on live streams from ingest to egress, the inability to monitor or control edge devices has been a significant barrier to efficiency," said Chris Clarke, CRO and co-founder at Cerberus Tech. "The new gateway agent within Livelink overcomes that obstacle. By deploying this lightweight, agnostic, security-conscious agent on edge devices, users gain centralised control over critical transmission infrastructure, reducing the need for on-site intervention and optimising their live video delivery workflows."

Available in both self-service and managed service models, the Cerberus Tech Livelink platform combines a protocol-agnostic multicloud-compatible infrastructure with low-latency reach to simplify IP workflows and enable scalable content delivery for occasional use or 24/7 distributions. Whether installed directly onto a device or used to 'talk' to any device — hardware- or software-based — Livelink's new gateway agent enables secure remote management of any on-premises system. Integrating seamlessly with existing workflows, the gateway agent establishes expansive device control within the platform’s convenient web-based UI and simplifies tasks such as configuring devices, adjusting bit rates, and retrieving logs.

Security is embedded at every level, with encrypted JWT-secured API interactions, strict credential management, and a custom firewall model that allows users to define IP whitelists and lock down access. The gateway agent itself does not store sensitive data; authentication keys and configurations are transmitted securely only when the device is active, and compromised devices can be disabled instantly.
