  • Mobile Protect

At 2K, we create unforgettable games that turn players into fanatics. Since 2005, we’ve delivered iconic experiences across PC, console, and mobile for millions of players around the world.

Data Theorem provides 2K Games a comprehensive security platform designed to protect mobile games from cheating, fraud, reverse engineering, and runtime attacks. The solution combines application hardening, code obfuscation, anti-tampering controls, runtime application self-protection (RASP), and advanced threat intelligence to defend games throughout their lifecycle. Data Theorem detects and blocks common cheating techniques such as memory manipulation, code injection, DLL hooking, speed hacks, rooted or jailbroken device abuse, emulator-based attacks, and automated bot activity. Its runtime monitoring continuously validates application integrity and identifies unauthorized modifications that could compromise gameplay or expose sensitive game logic.

To combat fraud, Data Theorem analyzes device, behavioral, and environmental signals to detect account farming, fake installs, multi-account abuse, reward exploitation, payment fraud, and automated promotional abuse. The platform leverages device fingerprinting, risk scoring, anomaly detection, and machine learning models to identify suspicious activity in real time while minimizing false positives. Security telemetry generated on the client side can be correlated with backend analytics to provide a holistic view of threats across users, devices, and sessions.

In addition, Data Theorem helps secure sensitive assets such as authentication tokens, API keys, game assets, and in-app purchase workflows through encryption, secure key management, certificate pinning, and API protection mechanisms. By integrating with game backends and fraud monitoring systems, MobileProtect enables developers and publishers to maintain fair gameplay, protect revenue streams, preserve the integrity of in-game economies, and reduce operational losses caused by cheating and malicious actors.

Fair play is essential to retaining our players' trust. Data Theorem Mobile Protect helped us identify cheating attempts, block application tampering, and prevent unauthorized access to premium content through in-app purchase bypass. It has become a key component of our mobile security strategy.
