Continent 8 Technologies, the leading provider of global managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity solutions for the iGaming and online sports betting industry, announces that it has expanded its cybersecurity collaboration with Alea.
Building on its current programme of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services, Alea has deepened its partnership with Continent 8 and its cybersecurity division, C8 Secure, by integrating Security Audit and Vulnerability Scan (V-Scan) services.
This strategic initiative further enhances Alea’s cybersecurity posture and underscores the company’s ongoing investment in the resilience and integrity of its infrastructure.
The expanded cybersecurity assessment programme delivers a wide range of benefits for Alea and its operator network, including identifying, assessing and mitigating vulnerabilities in IT infrastructures, applications and networks; ensuring compliance with industry best practises and cybersecurity frameworks by evaluating security policies, procedures and governance; recognising new vulnerabilities, highlighting areas for improvement and prioritising remediation efforts; developing a customised roadmap for ongoing improvement to enhance cybersecurity posture and maturity; and enhancing the trust and confidence of customers and partners by implementing industry-best cybersecurity measures.
Eduard Fumás, CTO at Alea, says: “Security is built into everything we do at Alea. We have always believed that operators and their players deserve the highest level of protection. This is why we’ve invested in strong encryption, fraud prevention tools and a robust infrastructure from day one.
“Working with Continent 8 has helped us put that commitment to the test. Their expertise allows us to validate and strengthen our systems with confidence. We’re proud of how far we’ve come together, and even more excited about what’s next as we keep raising the bar and building a platform that our partners can trust completely.”
Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8, adds: “As Alea continues to grow and expand, its proactive commitment to maintaining a secure iGaming aggregator platform becomes paramount.
“In our ongoing collaboration with Alea, we remain dedicated to fostering and supporting their cybersecurity initiatives – ensuring that both Alea and its extensive partner ecosystem stay protected, resilient and prepared.”
Continent 8 will be exhibiting at SBC Summit Lisbon from 16-18 September 16th to 18th at Stand C80. To arrange a show meeting and explore best practices and strategies for advancing your organisation’s cybersecurity initiatives, please contact sales@continent8.com
