Innovative Protection

Typical DDoS protection strategies are built around web services, concentrating their approach on common website protocols such as HTTP(S) and TCP. SteelShield goes beyond the typical. Game traffic usually relies on UDP, requiring unique defensive procedures against DDoS attacks. This is where SteelShield comes in. It’s a shift in the protection paradigm, keeping your specific game traffic safe from malicious attacks.

PREVENTATIVE ACTION

Instant Mitigation

Using patented packet signatures and inspection, SteelShield is able to block malicious traffic that intends to bombard your network. You won’t have to shut out entire regions or zones based off of IP blocks in an attempt to thwart an attack, SteelShield can distinguish exactly what traffic is hostile and verifies all legitimate traffic, allowing it to continue to flow as usual. SteelShield acts proactively within milliseconds where other solutions are merely reactive. There is simply no other DDoS solution like SteelShield.

SLINGS AND ARROWS

The Dangers of DDoS

The games industry is prone to DDoS attacks, and the number of malicious assaults on game network traffic only continues to rise. It has never been more important to have a safeguard against these potentially crippling strikes. When under a DDoS attack, you risk not only financial damage but reputational damage as well. Infrastructure can crumble and players are shut out of your services. Game studios can’t afford to have these attacks become a habit. SteelShield makes sure that you will never have to worry about DDoS attacks again.

Absorbed Impact

Minimize Consequences

Server unavailability, player criticism (especially across social media), review bombs, and unnecessary expenditure of company resources in reactive fixes are just a number of consequences from DDoS attacks. SteelShield is your tailored solution against the fallout.

Fairness & Safety

An Equal Playing Field

SteelShield guarantees a better, more fair experience for your players. We take the aggro so you can keep your multiplayer games safe, fun, and fully under control.
