With the global success of Tencent's extraction shooter games, security threats have become increasingly severe. Unlike traditional tactical shooters, this genre combines diverse gameplay elements such as offensive engagements, stealthy looting, and quick extraction, along with an integrated economy system—leading to more complex security challenges. In response, Tencent's Game Security team has continuously leveraged large-scale replay data, player risk profiles, and AI models to drive technological upgrades, building a more comprehensive, in-depth, and real-time security protection framework to safeguard game operations.
This session will share innovative results from practical implementation.

Takeaway

Attendees will gain critical insights into the unique security risks of extraction shooter games and their AI-powered solutions. These insights will empower teams to proactively develop and deploy defensive capabilities against potential threats.

Intended Audience
