The International Gaming Standards Committee Thursday announced the formation of a Cyber Resiliency Committee. With support from Aristocrat Technologies, Light & Wonder, and Axes.ai, the new committee will create standards for cyber risk management, cybersecurity governance, and framework control standards for casino operators.
“It is very inspiring to see IGSA Platinum and Gold members come together rapidly to address the alarming rate of increase of cybersecurity issues in our industry,” said IGSA Chairman and AXES.ai CEO Earle. G. Hall in a statement. “Our members are clear that cybersecurity has to be a top priority for all gaming suppliers in our industry to protect operators and our industry at large. A sincere thank you to Aristocrat Technologies and Light & Wonder for stepping up to lead this initiative to improve our industry.”
IGSA President Peter DeRaedt said that the committee marks the beginning of concerted efforts to create protective measures for the gaming industry through cyber standards.
This committee will solicit experts within our membership to create ready-to-use standards to improve cyber resilience,” DeRaedt said. “We are grateful that our chairman, Earle G. Hall, has volunteered to act as interim chair, to lead this committee that we anticipate will offer much-needed guidance and support to our industry.”
