Cyber security best practices for online gaming and igaming companies
Online gaming and igaming (i.e. online betting) activity has boomed in recent years,
driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, notable advances in gaming technologies, and
increased user demand.
This makes the gaming industry one of the most valuable — for both gaming
companies and attackers. By one estimate, over three billion players spent
over $182 billion on gaming in 2022, with an anticipated growth to $206
billion by 2025.
As a result, attackers continue to target these platforms: launching
devastating DDoS attacks, stealing funds and in-game resources via account
takeover, and using malicious bots to disrupt or degrade gameplay.
