Press Release
Anti-Piracy DRM that Stops Ghost Servers
View in Chinese
WASHINGTON, January
11, 2005 -- – IT GlobalSecure announces its
new anti-piracy solution, SecurePlay Keeper™ to be
released in the first Quarter 2005. Piracy and game
hacking are growing more serious for the computer games
industry. In 2004, the biggest industry news issues
behind record sales were a series of serious security
breaches ranging from software piracy, to code theft,
and game cheating. SecurePlay Keeper™ is a new approach
to digital rights management (DRM). It builds on the
popularity of online game play to create a new, powerful
approach to fighting game piracy.
“Traditional anti-piracy and DRM solutions focus solely
on securing distribution,” states Cheryl Campbell,
President of IT GlobalSecure, “SecurePlay Keeper™ works
by making the entire online gaming experience part of
the anti-piracy solution – from game play and player
matchmaking to tournaments and community services. The
more popular the game is, the better the protection
works.”
SecurePlay
Keeper™’s patent-pending technology complements
traditional DRM and media protection solutions by
extending security past the distribution stage through
the entire product lifecycle. It is particularly
important for game services and in Asia where
service-based gaming is the main tool to fight
widespread software piracy.
“Game
service providers had thought they were safe from
piracy”, according to Steven Davis, CEO of IT
GlobalSecure, “Unfortunately, as seen by cases in the US
and in Asia, Ghost servers and services constitute a
growing threat to online gaming companies.”
In 1Q05,
SecurePlay Keeper™ will be added to IT GlobalSecure’s
SecurePlay™ game security package. SecurePlay™ is the
only product on the market today that actually stops
many forms of cheating. SecurePlay™ helps game
developers, operators, and publishers reduce their cost
of operations and increase sales.
The
SecurePlay software makes multi-player, network game
development easier through its powerful, intuitive,
programming interface. Underneath the hood, SecurePlay
implements a suite of cryptographic protocols to stop
many kinds of cheating and piracy.
