Alea has appointed Continent 8 Technologies to perform a deep comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) on its systems to strengthen the platform’s cybersecurity defenses. This strategic initiative will enable Alea proactively identify and address potential security vulnerabilities as the company expands to enable an ever-growing network of gaming providers and operators.
Through a single API integration, Alea provides business-to-consumer (B2C) operators access to a vast library of over 15,000 games from more than 150 game providers. This growth has highlighted the necessity for upgraded security measures to protect the platform’s connections and maintain uninterrupted operations.
With Continent 8’s VAPT services, Alea aims to evaluate both internal and external security risks, allowing the platform to prioritise and implement key cybersecurity enhancements based on these insights.
