Continent 8 Technologies is leveraging its expertise to deliver a new product designed to provide protection from data breaches and other cybersecurity attacks.
The Florida-based online casino and sports betting solutions provider announced the launch of Threat Exchange, a platform created to combat cyberattacks. Threat Exchange is the gaming industry’s first dedicated cyber threat intelligence platform, allowing operators and other key stakeholders to identify and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
According to data provided by Continent 8, the online and retail casino industry has reported a more than 400% increase in cyber-related incidents since February 2025.
Threat Exchange identifies threats targeted directly at gaming entities as general cyber threat intelligence platforms miss roughly 70% of gaming-specific attack patterns.
“Threat Exchange is changing the game, providing unrivaled visibility into the behaviors and tactics of threat actors,” said Continent 8 Chief Security Officer Patrick Gardner. “Customers have consistently asked for greater intelligence and deeper analysis, and Threat Exchange is our response—a purpose-built solution designed to meet the unique security challenges of the iGaming and online sports betting industry.”
Threat Exchange processes billions of signals daily to detect cybersecurity threats in real-time. The platform provides its users with the ability to prioritize high-risk threats and share information between partners, improving security across the global gaming industry.
Continent 8 also receives insights from internet service providers and security service providers, providing a comprehensive overview of active security threats around the world.
Recent cyberattacks in the gaming industry
Continent 8 is providing the gaming industry with cybersecurity solutions amid recent data breaches that have exposed personal and confidential information.
Last month, Boyd Gaming Corporation revealed in an SEC filing a third-party data breach that exposed the personal information of customers and current and former employees.
Boyd Gaming claimed the data breach had no impact on the “company’s properties of business operations,” which include 28 gaming properties across 10 states.
Former Boyd Gaming employee Scott Levy filed a class action complaint in Nevada against Boyd Gaming for failing to prevent the data breach and exposing personal information, including social security numbers. Boyd Gaming also allegedly failed to notify current and former employees about the unauthorized access to its internal IT system.
In the suit, Levy claims Boyd gaming should have had adequate cybersecurity protections following a private industry notification issued to casinos by the FBI in November 2023.
The notification was issued after MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment experienced cybersecurity attacks last September. According to an SEC filing, MGM Resorts lost approximately $100 million behind the cybersecurity incident.
Ainsworth, Bragg Gaming Group and IGT also reported recent cybersecurity attacks.
