Case Study: Wargaming Protects 200 Million Players with Wallarm

Wargaming protects 200M players across 50+ regions with Wallarm

Wargaming, a major online game developer and publisher with over 200 million players, faced the immense security challenge of protecting a vast infrastructure of 3,000 nodes across 50+ regions while meeting GDPR obligations. They needed a web application and API security solution capable of handling their scale and integrating natively with their NGINX-based systems, as traditional appliance-based alternatives were unsuitable.

The solution implemented was Wallarm’s AI Control Platform for WAF and API security. Wargaming deployed Wallarm in a hybrid blocking and monitoring mode across their global infrastructure. This provided not only critical protection but also valuable operational intelligence through traffic statistics for forecasting. The results include sustained protection since 2015, with Wallarm’s active security scanner effectively identifying vulnerabilities in the massive environment, sometimes even before internal teams.
