Comprehensive Security for Gaming Platforms
VIRTIS keeps your sites, applications, and API endpoints secure and performant.
A Challenging Industry
Gaming is one of the most competitive industries online, and is also one of the most challenging for web security.
DDoS attacks on gaming platforms are rampant. There are two common forms.
- DDoS extortion: A massive, continuous attack to take the platform down, and keep it offline, until a ransom demand is paid.
- Intermittent attacks from competitors: Unscrupulous gaming sites will hire a DDoS service to attack competitors right before important events (playoff games, prominent races, etc.) Last-minute bettors will place their wagers with the first platform that’s available; platforms under DDoS can lose massive amounts of revenue.
On average among VIRTIS’ gaming clients, DDoS attacks make up about 37 percent of their hostile traffic. Other common attacks are vulnerability scans (23 percent), advertising click fraud (26 percent), and malicious bots abusing the platform or application (14 percent).
