Case Study: Playtech boosts developer secure coding and cuts vulnerability remediation time with Checkmarx Codebashing

CxCodebashing helps Playtech’s developers write secure code

Playtech, the world’s largest online gaming software supplier traded on the London Stock Exchange, needed to ensure secure coding across hundreds of developers working at 15+ sites in many languages. The challenge was to scale secure coding education, drive consistent AppSec practices across diverse teams, and monitor training progress and KPIs without disrupting developers’ workflows.

Playtech adopted Checkmarx’s CxCodebashing integrated with CxSAST, enabling developers to launch bite-sized, in-context lessons directly from their toolsets tied to specific scan findings. The result was higher security awareness, faster vulnerability remediation, fewer repetitive coding errors, and easy tracking of lesson completion, scores and audit-ready reporting — all while keeping training approachable and engaging for developers.
