Lottery operations are constantly changing and evolving. That’s why it’s critical to stay informed.
One of the most pressing cybersecurity threats facing the lottery industry today is Ransomware-as-a-Service. Cybercriminals can now purchase everything they need to execute a successful ransomware attack for less than $100. Considering the average ransom demand climbed to over $200,000 in 2021, you can see why it is an attractive investment.
Our VP of Information Security Services, Gus Fritschie, shares his insights from 2022, along with three key challenges that lotteries are facing today.
When gaming organizations plan to invest or renew an insurance policy, it’s becoming more common for insurance providers to send a cyber insurance application with the goal of better understanding the customer’s security posture and risks.
With that, who is responsible for completing the application within a company? Is it the IT department, legal counsel, compliance, human resource, or senior executives? The answer: everyone. It’s everyone’s role to contribute and understand the importance of cybersecurity, what measures are currently in place, where the risks are, what the impacts are, etc.
Our VP of Business Development answers these questions in her article, Embracing and Learning from a Cyber Insurance Application.
Stolen credentials are a goldmine for threat actors. Why would a hacker try to break into your network when they can simply log in?
You may not become aware of a stolen digital identity for quite some time because:
▪ The attacker will create a backdoor account to provide permanent access into your network, and then “rent out” that access to whoever is willing to pay.
▪ Lower-value credentials might be listed for bulk sale on the dark web.
▪ The attacker might “camp out” in your network, sending malicious messages to your trusted contacts to farm more victim leads that they can then turn around and sell or collect other types of data to enable a more widespread attack.

As the dust settles after the largest public health crisis of our life, many businesses are realizing they are never going back to “normal.”
Instead, most organizations have concluded that instead of a full-time return to the office, a hybrid workplace is the best way forward. They're also learning that this new hybrid working model has its own challenges — particularly when it comes to IT security.

Cyberattacks have increased by 400% compared to pre-pandemic times. Is Your business prepared?
Running a business requires leaders to hold a comprehensive skill set and cybersecurity expertise isn't necessarily on that list. However, the reality is that cybersecurity is no longer simply an issue for your IT team. This eBook can help you understand modern cyberthreats and their potential impact on your business.
If this describes the situation you’re in today, you’re not alone. Cyberattacks have increased 400% compared to pre-coronavirus time. The increase combined with the fact that many mid-size businesses do not have any cybersecurity plan in place at all means most organizations are in big trouble.

The proposed Consumer Privacy Policy closes a number of privacy gaps that existed in the previous PIPEDA legislation and introduces stricter standards for data governance and control. It also implements a new Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal that has much greater power to enforce rules and levy fines and other sanctions against organizations that fail to comply.
Although the proposed new rules must still work their way through the legislative process, it is likely that Canadian businesses will need to comply with stricter data protection laws in the next year or two.
