Case Study: Xsolla secures millions of microtransactions and achieves PCI compliance with Wallarm

Xsolla and its Millions of Microtransactions

Xsolla, the global video-game business engine that handles in‑game purchases across 200+ geographies, 700+ payment methods and 130+ currencies, faced the challenge of securing millions of microtransactions while meeting PCI DSS requirements and supporting continuous CI/CD-driven releases. To satisfy a broad range of threats without slowing development, Xsolla chose Wallarm (WAF & FAST) to provide a scalable, easy-to-use web application firewall and API protection.

Wallarm deployed its WAF in blocking mode across Xsolla’s infrastructure with a plug‑and‑play installation and machine‑learning-driven tuning, requiring minimal ongoing resources after initial setup. The solution delivered an “instant security upgrade,” met PCI DSS requirement 6.1, showed high attack-detection efficiency with an insignificant false‑positive rate, and allowed Xsolla to maintain global payment operations securely while focusing on growth.
