IGSA launches Cyber Resiliency Committee to create risk management standards

Several notable gaming companies are supporting the newly formed committee.

The International Gaming Standards Committee (IGSA) has formed a Cyber Resiliency Committee (CRC) that is supported by Aristocrat Technologies, Light & Wonder and Axes.ai.

The committee was designed to “create standards for cyber risk management, cybersecurity governance and framework control standards for casino operators and their ecosystem.”

IGSA serves as a technical standards development organization that focuses on improving the global gaming industry by creating standards of conduct.

IGSA President Peter DeRaedt said, “IGSA is being called to lead a concerted effort to create cyber standards to protect our industry and that is exactly what we will do thanks to the incredible leadership within our Platinum and Gold members. This committee will solicit experts within our membership to create ready-to-use standards to improve cyber resilience.

“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.”

IGSA Chairman and Axes.ai CEO Earle G. Hall outlined the importance of establishing a cybersecurity framework and the impact that can have on the industry at large.

He commented, “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.

“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.”
