[Interview] The reputation of nProtect GameGuard extends to public and financial markets

SINGAPORE - Nov. 11, 2022 - PRLog -- "The game hacking market is forming a huge black market. It takes the form of an enterprise by being dispersed into various teams, such as a cracking team that neutralizes the security system of an application (app), a modding that manipulates in-game figures, and distributing and supporting falsified products. It is our job to protect the game from these threats." - Shim Hyeong-jin, the leader of INCA Internet Development Group

GameGuard is a widely used solution for online games on PC. With the advent of smartphones, in the era of mobile, INCA Internet released a mobile security application (app) 'AppGuard', which is currently being applied to various mobile games.

Leader Shim said, "AppGuard was developed with the will to continue the reputation of GameGuard and make the best product in the mobile security market. It provides a security policy violation detection technology that detects various attack techniques, from actions such as damaging the integrity of the execution environment or tampering with files to whether illegal programs are used."

◆"The growing game market, the number of attackers also increased"
Leader Shim Hyung-jin said, "In the past, a small number of talented hackers attacked services individually. But recently, hackers have also been commercialized. Each team is divided into roles, from selecting an attack target, to an attack method, and to perform an attack when the attack is successful. In the case of games, we generate revenue through the sale of tampering apps (mods, mods), and the tempo of attack and defense is very fast."

The role of AppGuard is a 'wall'. It is the first attack point that a hacker must go through before attacking a game app, and the key role is to create a unified attack route. Hackers try to find and remove all security codes to prevent the security codes from being executed, and AppGuard tries to keep game apps untouched. It is truly a 'fight of spear and shield'.

In the midst of this, the markets that INCA Internet pays attention to in terms of business expansion are public and financial. In the case of AppGuard, it is mainly used for game security, but as it is a security solution that protects mobile apps, it can be technically used in public and financial sectors as well. The strategy is to utilize the experience accumulated in the game market as a competitive advantage in each market.
