Novomatic Italia Cuts Security Alerts by 60% With HyperSOC

Novomatic Italia has strengthened its cyber resilience programme through a partnership with HWG Sababa, using managed services based on HyperSOC to improve threat detection and incident response.

The company said the project targets a complex, mainly on-premise technology infrastructure where cybersecurity, uptime and regulatory compliance are closely linked. Novomatic Italia is part of Novomatic Group, the gaming technology supplier active in more than 50 countries.

The new security model has cut total alert volume by around 60%, according to the company. Novomatic Italia attributed the reduction to continuous tuning and better context around security events.

The company also reported fewer false positives and lower manual workload for security analysis. That gives internal teams more room to focus on events that carry actual operational risk, rather than filter low-value alerts.

Novomatic Italia said the project has also improved coordination between its internal cybersecurity team and the Security Operations Center. The company added that the setup has helped detect and block attempted attacks before they affected operational systems.

Marcello David, Cybersecurity Manager at Novomatic Italia, said the main change was alert quality. “What really changed with HWG Sababa was the quality of the alerts. We moved from simple noise to meaningful signals we could actually act on,” David said.

TGJ Take

For gaming operators and suppliers, the key point is not the technology name. It is the 60% alert reduction. Security teams in regulated gaming environments often drown in low-quality alerts, which slows response and increases operational risk. Novomatic Italia’s case shows why cyber resilience has become a compliance and business continuity issue, not just an IT budget line.
