How an online gaming industry leader strengthens its cybersecurity with Cymulate
When traditional penetration tests began to fall behind the pace of rising threats, the security leader in the online gambling industry turned to Cymulate — a platform that enables daily security validation, vulnerability prioritization, and rapid response to new attack vectors.
Client & Needs
A provider of platforms and software for online casinos, bingo operators, and lotteries, whose goal was not only to protect its own infrastructure but also to ensure the highest level of data security for its clients.
For years, the security team had been carrying out standard activities such as vulnerability scanning and periodic, outsourced penetration tests. However, these tests were:
● costly and infrequent, offering only a point-in-time assessment,● focused mainly on finding vulnerabilities, without providing repair priorities,● lacking the ability to quickly verify whether implemented fixes actually mitigated risks.
The company therefore faced a challenge: how to replace traditional penetration tests with a tool that ensures continuous validation, up-to-date visibility into vulnerabilities, and the ability to prioritize them?
Solution: Cymulate
Cymulate enabled the team to:
Cymulate is a proactive security tool that allows us to validate threats before they become a real risk to the organization.
