In a strategic move to strengthen its cybersecurity, global iGaming aggregator Alea has selected Continent 8 Technologies as its cybersecurity partner, specifically for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT).
This partnership will enable Alea to enhance the security of its platform, which connects business-to-consumer (B2C) operators with over 150 game providers and a catalog of more than 15,000 games.
Alea, one of the iGaming industry’s most rapidly growing aggregators, provides seamless access to its extensive gaming library through a single API, simplifying integration for clients and increasing operational efficiency. Given the complexity of securely managing vast volumes of game APIs and integrations, the company sought out Continent 8’s VAPT services to bolster its cybersecurity framework.
Working with Continent 8 and its cybersecurity-focused division, C8 Secure, Alea has conducted a comprehensive VAPT assessment to uncover and prioritize both internal and external vulnerabilities. This proactive approach allows Alea to address cybersecurity risks head-on, fortifying its platform's resilience and giving its partners confidence in the security of their data and systems.
Eduard Fumás, Chief Technology Officer at Alea, commented, “At Alea, security is at the core of everything we do. Our commitment to creating a secure, robust, and scalable API solution sets a new standard in the iGaming industry, where data protection and system integrity are critical.
Partnering with Continent 8 has been an important step for us in proactively safeguarding our platform and reinforcing the trust our partners place in us. This collaboration ensures that we continue to deliver a reliable, secure API experience to our clients. We’re proud to work with a partner that shares our dedication to cybersecurity excellence.”
Patrick Gardner, Vice President and Chief Security Officer at Continent 8, echoed Fumás’s sentiments: “Alea’s principles of security, scalability, and robustness resonate with Continent 8. Given the extensive number of APIs Alea operates, their proactive approach to assessing their security landscape is imperative.
We’re pleased to support Alea in this critical area and encourage all businesses in this industry to take cybersecurity seriously.”
