EA anti-cheat is a kernel-mode anti-cheat system that EA has developed to combat increasingly advanced cheats, especially on PC. Cheat creators focus on Battlefield games and other titles have started creating cheats that dig deeper into computers, making them harder for regular anti-cheat systems to detect. EA's anti-cheat operates at the same level, allowing it to spot and block cheats that would normally be missed. By building its own system, EA also gains more control. Unlike using third-party anti-cheat programs, this gives the company the power to manage security and privacy directly.

In response to privacy concerns, EA reassured players that EA's anti-cheat only works when Battlefield 1 or other EA games that use it are active. It is designed to specifically detect cheats and does not collect personal information, browsing history, or unrelated data. EA has also worked with independent privacy and security experts to ensure that EA Anti-Cheat protects player data and works securely.

EA stressed that it is committed to keeping games fair and will continue to improve its efforts to stop cheating around the world Battlefield series.
