With the US government at a stand still with protecting gamblers online, a new company has developed software to enable safe and secure gaming online. CogniSafe, a US based software company, promises their software will protect players from online theft and ensure secure deposits and payouts.  

Currently the US government is spending more time and money on banning online gambling rather than trying to protect its citizens from fraud and theft. Thus, CogniSafe’s software comes at a time of need and importance, as more and more people sign up for Internet gambling, the risk of fraud and theft grows, and the need for Internet gambling security has never been greater. 

“This (protection software) is based on semantic technology that is used mainly in detection that gives the ability to monitor. It tries to understand the event and it can be 100% normal, but if you detect a threat it can be diagnosed. It will look for programmers that show a threat in the system that works in real time,” said Shmuel Konforty, Chief Technical Officer for CogniSafe.  

The most common type of threat to online casinos is a program called bots. They are programs written with a specific code which is undetectable by online casinos and players. This creates an unfair advantage for the player as the bot controls the player’s moves and wages and causes for large bets not authorized by the player.  

Detecting these bots could be vital in securing players money during casino play. Currently there are no security protocols in place to detect these advanced programs but CogniSafe hopes their software will eliminate some, if not all, of the threat posed to casinos and gamblers.
