MediGuard is a conditional access system for digital television developed by SECA (Société Européenne de Contrôle d’Accès; renamed to Canal+ Technologies SA) (CEO François Carayol), a subsidiary of Canal+ Group, sold to Thomson (CEO Thierry Breton). Then Canal+ Technologies SA was broken into two pieces by Thomson in 2003, the MediGuard sold to Nagra France, and the MediaHighway to NDS France.

MediGuard has been on the European market since 1996. It is also used in the Middle East and Asia. MediGuard is notably used by Canal+.

Manufacturers which incorporate MediaGuard into their equipment are notably Hitachi, Ltd., Humax, JVC, Kenwood Electronics, Nokia, Pace Micro Technology, Philips, Pioneer Corporation, Sagem, Samsung Electronics, Sony Corporation, Strong, Thomson, and Toshiba.
