What it is

Denuvo Anti-Cheat is a game-protection product for developers and publishers seeking to detect unfair play and disrupt cheat networks. Behavioral Anti-Cheat uses machine learning to analyze player inputs in real time and identify inhuman patterns; it can also analyze raw inputs server-side. Kernel Anti-Cheat monitors low-level system activity to find and block tools that alter gameplay. Anti-Tamper protects game binaries and memory from client-side changes and reverse engineering. These protection layers can complement existing anti-cheat systems. Behavioral Anti-Cheat supports binary integration for PC and an SDK for consoles, with an optional PC SDK; server-side integration typically takes less than one day. Product pages specify Windows 10 and 11 support, plus Proton and Steam Deck compatibility for compatible games. Kernel Anti-Cheat specifies Windows 10/11 and runs its driver only while the protected game is active. The listed platforms are Linux and Windows. Pricing is on request, and Irdeto offers a free demo.
