Cybersecurity software maker Kaspersky Lab, one of the biggest antivirus makers today, launched this week an anti-cheat solution for organizers of professional e-sports tournaments.

Currently, Kaspersky's anti-cheat solution supports two games -- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG).
LOCAL CLIENT & WEB-BASED DASHBOARD
According to Kaspersky, this new platform is a cloud-based offering consisting of a client app for gamers and a web-based dashboard for tournament organizers.
The general idea is that the client, installed on players' computers, would detect attempts to tamper with a game's normal mode of operation and report any issues to a web-based dashboard.
CHEATS ARE JUST ANOTHER FORM OF MALWARE

"Cheating in professional e-sports is basically another cyberthreat, and software cheats are not all that different from malware," said Kaspersky's Nikolay Pankov.
