The last few years have seen a dramatic shift in the ways in which people gamble. Online casinos, lottery, and sports betting have increased in popularity and record year-on-year increases in online gambling participation.
With each new player joining an online provider, there is a digital onboarding process that needs to take place. There, players need to provide personal and sensitive information. This includes personal identifiable information and payment data such as home address and contact details, including card payment data and other methods of payment.
Online providers must manage large amounts of customer data, which takes up a vast quantity of storage space. Additionally, companies use data analytics to enhance the customer experience and ultimately boost engagement on their platforms.
To ensure all these processes run smoothly and in real-time, these providers often use cloud service providers to host their data. However, cloud usage also broadens the attack surface for cybercriminals.
To protect highly sensitive data stored in the cloud, effective cybersecurity measures must be in place to work in tandem with cloud technology. The applications that Utimaco supports for cloud security are detailed below.
