IT GlobalSecure, Inc., provider of advanced game security products and engineering services, today announced the availability of a one-day game security training program for game companies. This course covers all aspects of game security including anti-piracy, conventional IT security, and has sections on topics such as cheating, griefing, tournaments, and gold farming that can be tailored to meet game developer and publisher’s specific requirements.
"Game security affects all computer games," according to Cheryl Campbell, President of IT GlobalSecure, “Casual games, MMOs, multi-player and even single-player games are affected and their security can make or break the game financially.”
Game security incidents have grown from occasional problems to routine, and embarrassing, news for game companies big and small. While in 2004 there was only one public game security incident every month, by 2005, the number had grown to one every two weeks and in 2006 there has been more than one game security incident every week with uncounted dollars of revenue lost.
“Developers and publishers that plan for security can avoid most problems”, states Steven Davis, CEO of IT GlobalSecure, "The objective of our Game Security course is to help game companies help themselves. Game security encompasses the entire game team – from executives and game designers to marketers and programmers."
IT GlobalSecure provides complete game security consulting services to companies worldwide. It also operates the leading game security blog: www.playnoevil.com/ and delivers the SecurePlay anti-cheating software package. IT GlobalSecure’s one-day game security curriculum reflects its experience working with its game industry service clients, developing custom game security solutions, and over 20 years of extensive IT security engineering and training experience.
IT GlobalSecure’s team has over 40 staff-years of experience designing and deploying advanced secure information systems. IT GlobalSecure holds US and worldwide patents for SecurePlay fair play protocols and additional patents pending. SecurePlay simplifies multiplayer game programming and protects network games against cheating.
