Continent 8 Technologies partners with Varnish Software to launch SecureEdge for iGaming operators

Continent 8 Technologies, the leading managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity provider to the global iGaming and online sports betting industry, today announced a partnership with Varnish Software to launch SecureEdge, a new managed service designed to help operators enhance digital performance, strengthen security and support the demands of regulated markets.

SecureEdge combines content delivery, web application firewall (WAF) and DDoS protection in a single solution delivered and managed by Continent 8 Technologes. Through the partnership, Continent 8 becomes the first organisation globally to deploy Varnish CDN in a Box directly across its own network infrastructure, extending its portfolio with capabilities built specifically for sportsbook, casino, live dealer and platform operators.

Justin Cosnett, Chief Product Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, said: "As operators expand into new markets and customer expectations continue to rise, they need digital infrastructure that delivers performance, resilience and security without adding unnecessary complexity. SecureEdge provides a fully managed solution tailored to the realities of the iGaming industry, helping organisations deliver exceptional user experiences while maintaining confidence in the availability and protection of their platforms. Our partnership with Varnish Software allows us to bring proven content delivery and edge security capabilities to customers through the Continent 8 platform they already know and trust."

Jesper Hedblom, Head of Varnish CDN at Varnish Software, said: "The iGaming industry places unique demands on digital infrastructure, from sudden traffic spikes driven by live events to the need for consistently low latency and strong security. By deploying Varnish technology directly across its network, Continent 8 can provide operators with high-performance content delivery and integrated edge protection through a managed service built specifically for their needs."
