SOFTSWISS, a leading iGaming software provider, has won the 2026 Global Tech Award in Cyber Security Technology for Pipeguard, its custom‑built security platform integrated directly into the software development process.
The Global Tech Awards celebrate technology excellence across industries worldwide, making this a significant milestone for SOFTSWISS on the global tech stage.
SOFTSWISS developed Pipeguard to solve a common industry problem. As development speeds increase, standard security tools create too many low-value alerts. Engineers spend time chasing false alarms instead of fixing real risks. The solution automates the process, handling more than 2,000 scans daily across over 200 production repositories across multiple product lines. This enables the resolution of more than 90% of critical issues within agreed timeframes.
Pipeguard is an internal system designed to protect software before it goes live. It works directly inside the development process, identifying and blocking unsafe code, vulnerable software components, exposed credentials, and infrastructure and configuration issues before they reach production.
One of Pipeguard’s core innovations is the Risk Context Score, a proprietary method that ranks findings based on actual business risk. This approach reduced irrelevant security alerts by 95%, allowing engineers to focus on genuine threats. New projects can typically be connected to the platform in a few hours.
The platform supports a technology ecosystem used by more than 1,400 iGaming brands across multiple regulated markets. It also helps SOFTSWISS meet compliance requirements and regulator audits across multiple regulated markets, including Brazil, South Africa, Estonia, and Mexico, among others.
Commenting on the recognition, Evgeny Zaretskov, Group Chief Security Officer at SOFTSWISS, said: “In iGaming, where release speed is high, and trust is critical, security controls have to work inside delivery, not next to it. Pipeguard helps stop exploitable weaknesses from reaching production across the SOFTSWISS product ecosystem. This award is a recognition of our contribution to global technology standards in cybersecurity.”
SOFTSWISS will continue showcasing its latest solutions at BiS SiGMA South America 2026. Operators can meet the team at stands M80 and M85 to learn how the company’s technology helps secure and scale iGaming projects in regulated markets.
