Israeli software company CogniSafe, developer of an anti-cheating service for online games, announced today that it received a seed investment from 21Ventures, a U.S. firm.
CogniSafe's executives saw an opportunity in automating the ability to identifying cheaters on online gaming sites. Usually game sites won't undertake analysis of a player unless another player has complained. CogniSafe's software is capable of detecting deviations from the norm on gaming sites in real time, and then removing offenders without ruffling other legitimate players.
This initial investment will be funneled into building up the company's sales and marketing operations, as well as product development.
