WHAT:
Arxan Technologies, a leading provider of software security solutions that protect applications from attack in distributed or un-trusted environments, will be exhibiting its game protection solutions at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) at booth # 2209.
Gaming software is extremely vulnerable to diverse types of hacker attacks, especially as todays gaming experience extends to multiple platforms, across many connected devices ranging from desktop, mobile to server and embedded environments. Software attacks such as code tampering enables piracy or cheating, and reverse-engineering allows attackers to steal intellectual property (IP), inject malware, such as automated gold farming bots, or circumvent access controls of the game for unauthorized use. Cloning of back-end servers for massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPG) from reversing client-server communications also affects game integrity and loyalty that in turn, often results in compromised business models and revenue streams as gamers abandon the affected titles.
Additionally, as game publishers seek to release their latest titles via new digital distribution channels, such as their own or third party storefronts, they continue to be susceptible to nefarious hacks. Whether an online or digital distribution game architecture, the monetary and business risk is significant for game studios and publishers, and is clearly prompting industry leaders to deploy active protection solutions that can effectively safeguard game integrity with unobtrusive and customized protections that detect, defend and respond to hacking attempts.
Many of the top global game publishers and studios producing AAA titles rely on Arxans game protection for software security across millions of devices worldwide. By deploying Arxans code hardening with GuardIT
