Rolling the Dice: Ransomware in the Gaming Industry Anatomy of Two Online Security Attacks

The sophisticated threat landscape continues to challenge enterprise infrastructures, with the betting and online casino services industry being notably vulnerable. Visibility is crucial for these organizations to identify security gaps, vulnerabilities, and anomalies. The adage “If you don’t find them, you can’t fix them” underscores the industry’s challenge, as a lack of visibility remains a significant issue.

Many gaming organizations either do not fully understand the importance of network visibility or lack the necessary tools and resources. This dependency on technology-based security solutions limits their effectiveness. This whitepaper examines two major security breaches in the gaming industry, revealing intricate details from the NetWitness Incident Response and Cyber Defense Services team’s analyses.

Takeaway Points:

•

Visibility is Essential: Effective cybersecurity for gaming organizations hinges on the ability to detect and address security gaps and anomalies.

•

Resource and Awareness Gaps: Many gaming organizations either lack awareness of the importance of visibility or the necessary tools and resources to maintain it.

•

Technology Dependence Limits Effectiveness: Relying solely on parameter-based security solutions restricts the breadth of cybersecurity controls and limits effective protection.
