# Introducing Private Broadcasts for secure software distribution

[Private Broadcasts](https://cloudsmith.com/product/cloudsmith-broadcasts) is now available in Early Access, providing a secure solution for distributing proprietary software, such as internal SDKs, libraries, and premium commercial content. Backed by our global software distribution infrastructure and integrated directly into Cloudsmith, Private Broadcasts provides a custom, branded **access-controlled** distribution portal. This ensures customers and partners can easily access your packages, with authentication managed exclusively through entitlement tokens.
