Radware Levels Up DDOS Protection to Eliminate Costly Downtime and Disruptions for Online Gaming Industry
October 08 2020 - 6:00AM
Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and
application delivery solutions, is launching multi-dimensional DDoS
detection and protection to meet the unique and complex demands of
the online gaming industry. Radware developed a set of new
algorithms to protect sophisticated attacks against online gaming.
“Online games are a massive, multi-billion-dollar industry, but
they frequently fall victim to powerful and targeted DDoS attacks.
Any disruption in service could drive users away to competing
titles, damage brand reputation, and cost businesses substantial
income for every second of downtime,” said Gabi Malka, Chief
Operating Officer at Radware. “Threats like denial of service
attacks cannot be ignored. Online game companies need to cover any
gaps in security that might be left open from the service providers
they work with to deliver these online experiences for their
players.”
Online games and specifically the Massive Multi-Player (MMO)
games, experience multiple attacks coming from hackers and platform
competition that try to block players’ access to the gaming
platforms, from cheating players that can attack other players
slowing their connection, while gaining a competitive advantage,
and attacks that can take the entire game offline.
With Radware’s DDoS protection solutions, online game companies
and platforms have access to a multi-dimensional, enhanced DDoS
protection solution to protect against sophisticated attacks. This
includes enhanced, behavioral-based protection for UDP (User
Datagram Protocol) based attacks. Online games typically rely on
UDP to send and receive data as it does not require time-consuming
and frequent “handshakes” used in other protocols, like TCP. Yet,
many of the other solutions available to protect against attacks
focus on rate-based volumetric protection and, especially within
the public cloud, lack in their protection against UDP attacks. In
addition, DDoS attacks on the application level or non-volumetric
attacks that do not directly impact the public cloud network often
can go undetected. These types of rate-based protections also
result in a high rate of false-positives, which can cause
suspensions of service to loyal, innocent users. Radware’s advanced
behavioral technology blocks DDoS attacks, including non-volumetric
attacks, burst attacks and unknown zero-day attacks, with the
greatest accuracy ensuring a low false positive rate and the best
user experience.
“These online game companies rely on public cloud providers to
deliver online experiences at massive scale, but many of these
companies don't truly understand the level of protection they can
expect from their cloud partners,” said Anna Convery-Pelletier,
Chief Marketing Officer for Radware. “We’re working with these
cloud providers and video game companies to protect the entire
gaming ecosystem so that every player can enjoy their online gaming
experience, regardless of whether they reside in the public cloud
or hybrid environments.”
