Continent 8 Technologies: threat prevention, detection,


and response Te volume and complexity of cyberattacks is on the rise and Continent 8 Technologies believes all businesses must act now to ensure they are doing all they can to reduce the risk of falling victim on their platforms, networks and systems to a cybercriminal.


Te cost of a successful cyber-attack is high – the average cost of a data breach in 2020 was $3.86m. To defend against attacks such as DDoS and Ransomware, a comprehensive and complete cyber security set-up is required, and this must also be combined with regular staff training as human error is one of the most common reasons for an attack succeeding.


It is important for iGaming businesses to work with cyber security specialists that have the technologies and experience required to build a ring of steel around networks and systems.


At Continent 8 Technologies, we have recently enhanced our Secure product suite to meet the rise


in attacks and the challenges businesses face in the complex cyber security landscape.


Our Managed Treat Detection & Response offering is a complete end-to-end proactive threat protection solution combining advanced SIEM/EDR/SOAR/ML technologies with proven 24/7 SOC resources giving companies unprecedented visibility and response capabilities against known and unknown threats. Tis includes a highly experienced Security Operations team, Endpoint Detection and Response via EndGame’s highly rated protection software, plus Treat Intelligence with a dedicated cyber security R&D team that reviews internal honeypot and hundreds of external intelligence feeds.


Tere are also Security Orchestration and Automated Response (SOAR) capabilities and Advanced Analytics to ensure businesses are doing everything possible to mitigate cyber threats and attacks.


Tis newest product complements Continent 8’s proven WAF and DDoS solutions, providing a multi- layered approach for protection.


Of course, our team of cyber security experts are always on hand to assist our partners and ensure they are maximising the solutions and services that we provide. And that, combined with staff training, ensures organisations are in the best position to fend off a cyber-attack.

How important is it for jackpot system solutions to be ‘scalable’?


“Scalability is essential; it allows operators to expand popular and successful jackpots to not only additional areas and machines on a specific casino floor, but to other physical casinos too.


The cost, though, of a jackpot controller often inhibits this as its price is (mostly) the same, irrespective of the number of machines it’s ‘driving’, as such in smaller venues the ROI is just not there. However, technology has allowed us to navigate past this with our patented drSMIB; a solution which now operates in each individual machine as a (for want of a better word) ‘virtual’ jackpot controller.


Is scalability a complex characteristic to implement in the development process?


No, it is not; in theory anyway, what is though is ensuring the security of the relevant data and maximising the speed at which that data is accurately shared across all relevant jackpot locations. Notwithstanding cost, if technology service providers cannot get this right; players, and in turn operators, will just not be interested.


operation, adding real-time security with views that cover all angles of the production area. When the draw starts, the view automatically switches to the main camera.


Risk mitigation has also been improved following recent events and will provide the ability for games to continue even if evacuations or stay-at-home conditions are put in place.
