Online Gaming
Online gaming brings joy to millions of people every day and the number of players is constantly increasing. But since the
multiplayer experience takes place purely online, any server inaccessibility leads to frustrated and angry customers.
With Link11’s sophisticated security solutions, you can secure your gaming infrastructure and keep server downtime to an absolute minimum.
Server under attack
DDoS attacks are
unfortunately a permanent
problem
Video gaming has become a billion-dollar business and a large part of the revenue is made through online multiplayer connectivity. Every day, players log on to the gaming servers to pursue their hobby. Here, however, customers expect not only smooth performance, but all around-the-clock availability.
DDoS attacks that make logging in difficult or impossible are a major risk here, especially at peak times or on public holidays. Unavailable servers do considerable damage to a company’s reputation, and in the case of particularly long outages, customers may even turn their backs on the service. The resulting damage can be considerable, both financially and in terms of external impact. Link11’s infrastructure DDoS protection takes care of this problem by protecting you and your servers around the clock.
Customers expect lasting perfection in online gaming
Challenges
Online gaming has grown enormously in importance in recent years
The variety of services and gaming options available on the Internet has grown dramatically
The industry is heavily dependent on system availability
“Real time” is essential in this industry, instant access is a must
Risks
Cyber attacks can affect the availability of services and infrastructure
Even the smallest delay in server response (latency) impacts the business (poor user experience, no customer satisfaction, no real-time experience)
Dissatisfied customers might become attackers

DDoS attacks endangers
professional online gaming
Long gone are the days when e-sports hosted small, barely noticed niche events. Digital sports have now arrived in the public eye and are shown live on TV or the Internet. They even fill entire arenas and stadiums. However, as the popularity grows, so does the potential for attacks that can severely disrupt online events. In the worst case, a massive DDoS attack can disrupt an event to the extent that the match has to be postboned, a major organizational and technical effort that also damages the tournaments image.
Of course, there are ways to protect even larger e-sports tournaments from DDoS attacks and to ensure balanced and fair competition. All information about e-sports and the associated cyber security can be found in our blog article.
