SOFTSWISS, a leading software provider in the iGaming industry, has introduced a private Bug Bounty Program aimed at strengthening its cybersecurity measures. This initiative invites white-hat hackers and independent security researchers to identify vulnerabilities, offering rewards for their discoveries and ensuring the highest level of protection for SOFTSWISS clients.
To ensure only meaningful cases that meet specific criteria are reported, SOFTSWISS has made the program invitation-only. “Invitation-only programs encourage white hat hackers to pay close attention to their terms and requirements, resulting in higher-quality reports,” the company noted. While public programs may provide broader insights, they tend to generate irrelevant reports. The private approach ensures a focused effort on critical security issues.
The Bug Bounty Program offers financial rewards of up to €3,500, depending on the severity and complexity of the vulnerabilities discovered. This program provides an extra layer of defence, offering external, unbiased evaluations from experienced security professionals.
“We care about the security of our clients and their players, which is why it is important for us not only to pay close attention to protecting the products we develop but also to constantly recheck our applications with the help of skilled external experts and enthusiasts. In collaboration with the expert community, we can ensure a reliable level of data protection and uninterrupted operations for all our clients,” said Evgeny Zaretskov, Group Chief Information Security Officer at SOFTSWISS.
“SOFTSWISS is proud to set a new standard for cybersecurity by leveraging crowdsourced expertise. In this ever-evolving landscape, even a minor bug can lead to significant losses for operators. The Bug Bounty Program is an extra measure to protect our existing and future clients,” Zaretskov added.
The program has launched with two key products: the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform and the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, operating in a dedicated test environment to avoid disrupting live casino systems and player experiences.
“Cybersecurity is an ongoing battle,” stated Artyom Buchkov, Deputy CSO.
“No company can discover all vulnerabilities on its own. This program enables talented hackers to legally hack an online casino, helping us anticipate and defend against potential threats. It strengthens our commitment to providing the most secure software and platforms in the iGaming industry.”
Looking ahead, SOFTSWISS plans to expand the program by adding more products and refining its requirements to maintain top-tier security standards across all platforms.
For those interested in cybersecurity in iGaming, SOFTSWISS experts and product teams will be available for discussions at the SBC Summit Lisbon, Stand B-160, from September 24 to 26.
