Cheating in Online Gambling Combated by CogniSafe

CogniSafe have launched the PitBoss endpoint solution in order to reduce cheating in online gambling through online bots and advisors or software cheats.

CogniSafe claim the software can be adapted to fit the specific needs of the customers and has already proven successful for online gaming clients. It can even be updated to recognize new forms of cheating.

Chief technical officer at CogniSafe Shmel Konforty explained that the PitBoss software uses algorithms and player behaviour models to determine threats to the system. It is able to monitor patterns in game logic simultaneously on how the player plays as well as on the operator.

Data on the player is analyzed to pinpoint any potential threats as well as determining if they are a cheat they are already aware of, a mutation of an existing threat or a new threat entirely.

Konforty said: “This is based on Semantic technology that is used mainly in detection that gives the ability to monitor. It tries to understand the event and it can be 100 per cent normal, but if you detect a threat it can be diagnosed. It will look for programmes that show a threat in the system that works in real time.”
