Cloudflare can help gaming community's in many ways to protect their players and make their servers more secure and reliable!

What Is Cloudflare? 

DDoS Protection

DDoS protection is the core feature of Spectrum that helps to absorb and mitigate DDoS attacks before they reach your server. Cloudflare uses a global network of data centers to analyze traffic and detect malicious activity. Once an attack is detected, the traffic is redirected to Cloudflare's network, where it is cleaned and filtered before being forwarded to your server. This process helps to ensure that legitimate traffic is not affected, while blocking the attack traffic.

The DDoS protection feature of Spectrum can be used to protect various types of traffic, including TCP and UDP.
This makes it suitable for protecting custom game applications, as well as other types of online services.

With DDoS protection from Spectrum, you can greatly reduce the risk of lost customers, declining revenues, and degraded brand reputation due to downtime caused by DDoS attacks.

Bot Management

Bot management is another important feature of Spectrum that helps to preserve the integrity of your FPS games. Fraudulent account creation is a common problem in online gaming, and bots can be used to cheat or disrupt gameplay. Spectrum can help to identify and block bots by analyzing their behavior and characteristics.

The bot management feature of Spectrum uses machine real-time algorithms to detect and block bots in real-time. This helps to ensure that your games are fair and enjoyable for all players.

Magic Transit

Magic Transit is a feature of Spectrum that provides DDoS protection and traffic acceleration for on-premise, cloud-hosted, and hybrid networks. It is delivered from every Cloudflare data center, ensuring that your server is protected from DDoS attacks regardless of its location.

With Magic Transit, you can benefit from Cloudflare's global network of data centers to improve the performance and security of your online services. This feature can be used to protect various types of traffic, including TCP and UDP.

API Shield

API Shield is a feature of Spectrum that helps to keep your APIs secure and productive. This feature includes various security measures, such as API discovery, schema validation, and strong authentication.

API discovery helps to ensure that only authorized clients can access your APIs. Schema validation ensures that the data passed to your APIs is valid and conforms to the expected format. Strong authentication helps to prevent unauthorized access by requiring clients to provide valid credentials.

With API Shield, you can ensure that your APIs are only accessed by authorized clients, and that the data passed to them is valid and secure.

Zero Trust

Zero Trust is a feature of Spectrum that gives developers and contractors secure and streamlined access to internal systems. With this feature, you can implement a security model that assumes that all access attempts are malicious until proven otherwise.

Zero Trust can be used to secure various types of resources, such as databases, file servers, and other internal systems. This feature can be used to restrict access to specific IP ranges, as well as to implement multi-factor authentication.

With Zero Trust, you can ensure that your internal systems are only accessed by authorized users, and that access attempts are logged and monitored for suspicious activity.
