Case Study: Wargaming achieves uninterrupted gameplay during DDoS attacks with Gcore

How we protect Wargaming against DDoS attacks

Wargaming, a major global gaming publisher, faced the challenge of sophisticated DDoS attacks, including a 253 Gbps UDP flood aimed at its game servers. These attacks, which often mimicked legitimate gaming traffic, threatened to disrupt service for its over 200 million users. To ensure uninterrupted performance, they partnered with the vendor Gcore for its DDoS protection service.

Gcore successfully repelled the attack by leveraging its high-capacity network and advanced cleaning systems. Their solution involved deflecting malicious traffic at border routers and using a secret key method to meticulously separate legitimate from malicious traffic, ensuring no server downtime. As a result, Wargaming's users experienced no interruption in service, and the game servers remained available worldwide throughout the entire attack.
