Case Study: Playtech achieves stronger hybrid-cloud security and 40% less patching time with Trend Micro Deep Security

Playtech enhances its security with Trend Micro to deliver seamless, secure online gaming experience

Playtech, a leading UK-based online gaming platform serving casino, poker, bingo and sports betting across channels, needed to secure a vast hybrid‑cloud environment of over 20,000 servers and meet strict, jurisdiction‑specific compliance and audit requirements while keeping services seamless for millions of players. The company faced the twin challenges of maintaining continuous service across thousands of servers, VMs and containers and passing dozens of annual external audits without slowing innovation.

Playtech deployed Trend Micro Deep Security Software and Trend Micro Premium Support—leveraging virtual patching, intrusion prevention and integrity checks—to protect hybrid workloads and simplify compliance. The result was markedly improved production security coverage, a ~40% reduction in time spent on patching, about a 50% drop in false positives and missed incidents, and much faster, more detailed audit reporting and incident response.
