 What are the defense principles of Game Server Shield?

Traffic Cleaning

Traffic Detection and Interception: CDN5 game server has AI intelligent analysis system to detect and analyze the imported traffic in real time, and under the powerful feature library data and self-learning enhancement capability of AI, it can automatically intercept and filter malicious requests, malicious data transmission, non-standard communication protocols, and so on.

DDOS protection: The principle of DDOS attack refer to (What is DDOS attack?). DDOS attack: The principle of DDOS attack is referred to as (What is DDOS attack?), which is the most harmful, and the technical defense is basically insoluble, and the only way is to clean the globally distributed nodes through the Game Server Shield, which introduces the malicious traffic into the cleaning nodes, removes the attack packets, and then intelligently schedules the legitimate traffic to return to the source of the real nodes, so as to ensure that the game will continue to run without being affected by the attack.

CC attack protection: CC attacks are also a headache for game manufacturers. Attackers simulate legitimate users to consume server resources, and the low cost of the attack gives many game developers a headache, while the deployment of Game Shield can effectively solve the problem of CC attacks. Game Shield will intelligently identify request characteristics, frequency, behavioral patterns, request paths, time, etc. to make an analysis, as long as there is not in line with the normal characteristics of the behavior, it will be marked, and when the marked behavior will be intercepted when acting again. Unlike the CAPTCHA of other protection vendors, CDN5 GameShield uses the world's first CC senseless authentication, which means that users can't feel any abnormal behavior in the game.

Real-time monitoring and response

AI real-time monitoring system, millisecond statistics and analysis, and constantly collect and organize data, independent learning, automatic response.

Rapid response, once identified attacks or abnormal behavior, the game server shield system will quickly take protective measures, such as intelligent scheduling, traffic cleaning, line switching, without human intervention, if encountered in anomalies that can not be identified will be notified through a variety of ways to notify the engineers at the same time access to deal with.

Fraud Prevention and Acceleration

CDN5's Game Service Provider Shield also has the function of preventing user fraud and cheating, safeguarding the fairness and impartiality of the game, and protecting the game developer's assets from theft, at the same time, the globally distributed nodes, the whole link encrypted transmission, and the distribution of the nearest, so the game is incomparably safer and more silky smooth at the same time.

What is the scope of application of the game server shield?

Online games: MMO and RPG as well as private services and other online games interact frequently, the game server shield can ensure its stable operation and avoid lag.

APP Games: Integrating CDN5 Game Shield SDK can solve all attack problems in one step.

IM Games: Real-time interactive games require extremely low latency, and Game Server Shield can reduce latency and keep instant communication flowing smoothly while maintaining stable operation.

At the same time, the game server shield is also suitable for game broadcasting platforms (continuous and stable protection of live signal transmission and smoothness) and game download platforms (fast and stable download of game installation packages).

What are the deployment methods of Game Server Shield?

1. Local deployment

Local deployment requires a strong technical team and sufficient IT resources, in addition to some of the internal testing game manufacturers will do so, the game on the market will not be used in the local mode, even with local deployment, but also the use of hybrid deployment (i.e., local + cloud).

2. Cloud or purchased servers

By integrating the SDK files provided by CDN5 or directly purchasing game servers, the purpose of protection and acceleration can be quickly and easily realized, which is currently the most cost-effective and efficient way, and is also the most popular way adopted by manufacturers.
