Gaming Industry is under attack
In
today’s internet-driven world, the gaming industry stands at the forefront of
an escalating cyber crisis. With cyber threats reaching unprecedented levels,
Maxxsure will be present to educate gaming operators on how to implement their
crucial solutions at the upcoming Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas from
October 9th – 11th.
Shawn
Wiora, CEO of Maxxsure, highlights the urgency, stating, “Cyber-attacks are not
just disrupting, they’re paralyzing industries worldwide. Our mission is to
provide tools to measure risk, insurance requirements, and build a cyber-aware
corporate culture. Inaction is no longer an option when the survival of
industries is at stake.”
The
gaming industry, in particular has been a prime target for cybercriminals.
Recent incidents as early as this week have shaken the very foundations of this
sector, with ransomware attacks wreaking havoc shutting down casinos,
disrupting businesses, and even impacting governments on a global scale. The
facts are stark: the gaming industry is under attack like never before.
One
of Maxxsure’s critical solutions is the M-Score dashboard, a proprietary
technology that operates similarly to a credit score but for measuring a
company’s cyber resilience in real-time. This powerful tool empowers
organizations to evaluate their cyber insurance coverage, proactively address
vulnerabilities, and take prompt action when needed.
Srik
Soogoor, CEO of Cysuren, a sister company of Maxxsure, adds, “The cyber threat
landscape is dire, and insurance rates are skyrocketing. Maxxsure and the
M-Score dashboard provide the means to measure insurance accurately. Failing to
act amidst these cyber threats is a risk industries cannot afford to take.
Proper monitoring and insurance are now essential for survival.”
Maxxsure’s
focus on providing solutions extends beyond gaming, as the entire digital
landscape faces continuous cyber threats. Maxxsure’s user-friendly platform
make cyber risk management accessible to all, allowing users to conveniently
view their cyber risk scores on their smartphones. This real-time awareness is
not just about selling products, it’s about equipping organizations with the
necessary tools to navigate today’s digital minefield.
John English, Managing Director of Sports Betting and Technology at GMA
Consulting, emphasized, “Security is no longer a given in today’s landscape.
The large-scale cyberattacks targeting the gaming sector are highly
sophisticated and profoundly damaging. It’s imperative for businesses to assess
their risks and secure proper cyber insurance promptly. In line with this, the
Nevada Gaming Control Board enforces a requirement in January, necessitating
gaming companies to actively monitor their organizations for cybersecurity
vulnerabilities and promptly report any deficiencies or cyber incidents. Given
the urgency it is inevitable that all gaming jurisdictions will implement the
same or similar requirements.”
Maxxsure
is presently collaborating with prominent gaming clients worldwide. The Native
American Gaming industry, in particular, has borne the brunt of these crippling
attacks. Maxxsure has made substantial investments in the gaming sector to
expand its expertise and innovative technology, acting as a proactive safeguard
and vital support for these enterprises.
