Denuvo Launches Unbotify Real Time Detection to Stop Bots Before They Can Cause Damage

The capacity is a new extension of Denuvo's tried-and-tested groundbreaking Unbotify solution

SALZBURG – August 21, 2024 - Denuvo by Irdeto, the leading provider of security solutions for the gaming industry, is excited to announce the launch of its groundbreaking product, Unbotify Real Time Detection, at the prestigious Gamescom 2024. Unbotify Real Time Detection is an extension of Denuvo's innovative Unbotify solution. The extension is included for every Unbotify client and once it is activated, all incoming data is sent in real time and checked immediately. The time it takes to detect a bot is as short as sending a single report.

Every day, gamers have to painfully learn that not every opponent is a flesh-and-blood human being. So-called bots have become a major problem in the gaming world, which is rapidly worsening due to the rising influence of artificial intelligence. Learning programs are acting more and more like human players and giving unfair advantages to those who use them. As a result, online games can be less enjoyable for players, and publishers are suffering from a loss of revenue and damage to their brands.

To effectively stop botting, speed is of the essence. The current practice of checking player statistics on a daily basis and then taking action against identified bots can take hours, and by then, the damage has usually already been done.

A behavioral fingerprint is created live in the cloud

Like the threat itself, Denuvo Unbotify also leverages artificial intelligence (AI). The software analyzes behavioral data to detect bots and cheaters in real time with maximum precision. Based on this data, a kind of behavioral fingerprint is created live in the cloud, which identifies real players as humans. In addition to real time recognition, the offline system collects further data and carries out a more detailed recognition of general user behavior at regular intervals. Denuvo Unbotify doesn’t stop at flagging the players as bots, it also provides detailed evidence for why it made this determination.

The advantages of Unbotify Real Time Detection

  • Enables real time insights into botting activities for the first time.
  • Identifies bots much faster and significantly reduces the manual effort of detection.
  • Allows data to be obtained for faster clear identification of fraud attempts while still excluding any and all identifiable information about users in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

“With the launch of this new innovation for our Unbotify solution, we are making another great leap forward in the fight against bots in video games. This powerful new feature ensures that Unbotify customers can provide a far better and more enjoyable experience for players by removing bots without delay, stopping them in their tracks, and before they can do harm to gameplay. We’re excited to see the benefits this will drive for the industry,” said Niels Haverkorn, SVP of New Markets, Irdeto.
