SOFTSWISS, an iGaming software provider, works in partnership with Cloudflare Inc., a leading cloud connectivity company. The goal is to share your experience in defending and preventing cyber threats.

Thus, the case study, produced together, shows the most common cybersecurity problems, reinforcing protection for the iGaming sector.

Strategy presented by SOFTSWISS

iGaming stakeholders face several cybersecurity challenges, including frequent distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and malicious bot activities. The main attack targets are financial data and other personally identifiable information (PII).

To address these challenges, SOFTSWISS implements a comprehensive strategy, which includes:

  • Adapting to evolving threats
  • Encouraging internal surveillance
  • Prioritizing response and continuity plans
  • Investing in advanced skills
  • Promoting proactive communication and transparency after incidents

As its user base expanded, SOFTSWISS migrated a portion of its security infrastructure to Cloudflare’s comprehensive suite of tools.

Thus, leveraging Cloudflare’s global network, SOFTSWISS saw up to a 20% improvement in traffic performance from its data center in Europe to remote regions such as Southeast Asia and South America.

Many years of working together in the cloud have helped SOFTSWISS grow its business. This is all described in a case study that summarizes the experience of combating shared threats.

International certifications

Sergey Kastukevich, Deputy CTO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “Last year, cybersecurity returned with renewed vigor to the iGaming sector, which faced some large-scale attacks.

Therefore, having a partner as trusted as Cloudflare helps us ensure the security of our products and combat threats more effectively.

Cloudflare acts as the single point of entry to our network infrastructure, protecting us from various attacks, especially at the network and transport layers.

Cloudflare protection allows us to focus our security efforts on fewer attack vectors, freeing up resources to improve our products for customers.”

Andy Lockhart, VP EMEA at Cloudflare, adds: “Companies like SOFTSWISS that operate in the iGaming, sports betting and online gambling sector need to implement a solid, holistic connected performance and cybersecurity solution.

In the fourth quarter of 2023 alone, Cloudflare blocked an average of 182 billion cyber threats per day worldwide.”

Therefore, SOFTSWISS relies on the highest standards for its products, keeping them safe and proving their high quality. In other words, it is an ISO-27001 certified company.

Additionally, SOFTSWISS also received GLI-19 and GLI-33 certifications for its casino and sports betting platform last year.
