After spending last week in Las Vegas at the Gartner Infrastructure Operations and Cloud Strategy Conference – here are our five takeaways for IT Leaders.
Technology leaders in gaming and leisure need to adopt a framework for incorporating new technologies while maintaining desired security risk profiles. Furthermore, they need to adopt/build in the most effective way to avoid unnecessary complexity and overhead.
Our goal as cyber-defenders is to look at our organizations from the cyber-attacker’s viewpoint, reduce the attack surface, and reduce the impact of a cyber-attack. Here are seven important steps to include in your Attack Surface Management program:
Organizations can reduce risk and improve security posture by focusing security efforts on what matters the most, securing your data.
The cybersecurity attack surface has grown exponentially over the last decade, and many organizations aren’t doing enough to prepare their teams to defend against cyber-attacks. The frequency and scope of these attacks have significantly increased across all industries, especially gaming. Why are casinos and gaming firms a prime target for cybercriminals? Because they are flush with cash and player data.
The revolutionary aspect of cloud technology is that it separates hardware from software. This separation has spawned a multitude of new business capabilities and opportunities.
Adaptability is key for survival. As Charles Darwin noted, “It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.”
Hackers show no signs of abating their attacks on businesses. The data that businesses generate is just too valuable for cybercriminals to ignore.
