Hoofddorp, Netherlands
What it is
Denuvo Anti-Cheat is a game protection product for developers and publishers seeking to identify unfair play and interfere with cheat activity. Behavioral Anti-Cheat applies machine learning to player inputs in real time to identify patterns it classifies as inhuman, and can analyze raw inputs server-side. Kernel Anti-Cheat watches low-level system activity for malicious tools that alter gameplay. Anti-Tamper protects game binaries and memory from client-side modification and reverse engineering. These layers can complement other anti-cheat systems. Behavioral Anti-Cheat offers PC binary integration and a console SDK, with an optional SDK for PC; its server-side integration typically takes less than a day. Product information specifies Windows 10 and 11 support, as well as Proton and Steam Deck compatibility for compatible games. Kernel Anti-Cheat specifies Windows 10/11, and its driver runs only while the protected game is active. Pricing is available on request, and Irdeto offers a no-commitment demo. Listed platforms include Linux and Windows.
