Supplier Sportingtech has expanded its partnership with Continent 8 Technologies to include advanced cybersecurity services.
The extended agreement will see Sportingtech integrate Continent 8’s Managed Security Operations Centre (MSOC) and Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) services, aiming to enhance the protection of its IT infrastructure with continuous 24/7 monitoring and threat detection.
This collaboration builds on Sportingtech’s existing use of Continent 8’s cloud infrastructure.
By adding cybersecurity services, Sportingtech aims to strengthen its ability to identify and respond to potential threats across its systems, including endpoints, servers, cloud environments and network devices.
Michael Jack, Sportingtech CTO, stated: “Sportingtech is excited to expand our partnership with Continent 8 by incorporating their MSOC and SIEM services into our cybersecurity operations. Its tailored service approach aligns perfectly with our need for bespoke, reliable and responsive cybersecurity solutions.”
Patrick Gardner, Continent 8 VP and Chief Security Officer, added: “We have been powering and protecting the iGaming and online sports betting market for over 25 years and our MSOC and SIEM services will provide the necessary threat prevention, detection and response framework to safeguard Sportingtech’s extensive gaming operations.”
In August 2024, Sportingtech made a deal with BetMakers to integrate horseracing technology into its platform, aiming to diversify its offerings for operator partners.
