Security Nodes

Black ICE	Code Gate	Guardian	Sentry	Scanner	Turret

Introduction

Security nodes are used to provide protection for your network, defending your Business Nodes and Core. Some basic nodes are available at the beginning of the game, with upgraded and more advanced nodes being available for purchase with resources as you progress and increase the level of your Core.

All the nodes correspond to different given ICE archetypes and protect using different mechanisms:

• Sentry: Deploys antivirus to all nodes, granting any node the ability to defend against intrusions.
• Turret: Basic attack node. Attacks with a continuous stream on a compromised node.
• Black ICE: Advanced attack node. Attacks with slow but strong blasts to a compromised node.
• Code Gate: Basic defense node. Acts as a wall to attacking programs.
• Scanner: Advanced defense node. Alerts network of stealth attacks.
• Guardian: Advanced defense node. Strengthens the firewalls of connected nodes.

Tips

• Security Nodes connected to a NetConnection tend to be wasted, as NetConnections can not be captured.
