THE CHALLENGE
Rapid expansion and regulatory complexity demanded a smarter security strategy
Betsson is a Nasdaq-listed iGaming powerhouse founded in 1963, with roots in Sweden. With operational headquarters in Malta the Group manages several brands, including Betsson and Betsafe, offering everything from slots and live casinos to sports betting and poker. Growth has been driven by acquisitions and expansion into new markets. With growth also comes increasing risk. Betsson Group operates under multiple gambling licenses, each subject to rigorous compliance standards. Protecting customer data, ensuring uptime, and meeting framework requirements like ISO 27001 and PCI DSS is essential.
“Our cybersecurity strategy is to enable the business to achieve its goals by ensuring that security is a quality and design characteristic in our products.”
Stefan Saliba
IT Operational Security Manager, Betsson Group
The Group’s previous cybersecurity solution was insufficient for a global operator managing thousands of servers, real-time betting platforms, and regulatory audits. They needed to expand their visibility, boost their speed, and work with a partner that could keep pace with their rapid business growth.
