Kenshi/core
Cambridge, UK
What it is
Kenshi/core is a cross-platform anti-cheat and anti-tamper platform protecting software from hardware through the application layer. It lists 27 detection modules across hardware, kernel, runtime, and binary layers, plus 32 anti-tamper protections including runtime hardening and code protection. Events from those layers are correlated on one timeline. The SDK supports Unreal, Unity, Source, and custom C++, while operator integrations include Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, and Datadog. Kenshi says it can run alongside EAC, BattlEye, in-house anti-cheat systems, and EDR tools such as CrowdStrike, Sentinel, and Defender. Linux and Windows are listed, with a kernel-level client and developer SDK. Typical engagements begin with a scoping workshop, SDK integration, and live launch support; integrations typically take 4 to 6 weeks. Licensing can be per title or studio, usually beginning with a scoped pilot. Kenshi states that TLS 1.3 protects transit, AES-256 protects stored data, and processing defaults to UK and EU regions. Pricing is bespoke and provided on request.
