Emphasizing GLI's Approach: Presentation of the GLI-GSF Gaming Security Infrastructure
Chillin' with GLI: Creating the Ultimate Gaming Security Framework
Hey there! Let's dive into the exciting world of gaming security, as Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has recently unveiled a revolutionary approach to enhance the protection of gaming operations worldwide.
After decades of hands-on experience in the gaming industry, GLI partnered with Bulletproof to establish a specialized gaming-security framework that targets industry demands for top-notch security practices.
As regulators sought specific gaming-related cybersecurity measures, Joe Bunevith, GLI's Vice-President of Government and Regulatory Affairs, noted the industry lacked adequate protections. Acknowledging other standards like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Security Commission (NSC), and Center for Internet Security (CIS), Bunevith highlighted the necessity of a dedicated gaming security framework.
GLI delivers on its promise, publishing the inaugural modules - GLI-GSF-1 and GLI-GSF-2 - in time for the 25th Regulators Roundtable, held at Palms Las Vegas on April 16-17. Dubbed the Common Controls, these modules outline various sections of the gaming industry to provide a foundation for universal implementation.
GLI-GSF-1 ensures effective gaming information security management within gaming organizations, while GLI-GSF-2 focuses on gaming technical security assessments. The upcoming plan involves developing modules tailored to vendors, iGaming, Sportsbook, cloud computing cashless systems, artificial intelligence, lottery, and additional areas to further strengthen the framework.
Each module embodies gaming industry best practices and is available for download on the GLI website. The creation process is thorough, as GLI and its sister company, Bulletproof Solutions, work hand-in-hand with regulators, suppliers, and operators to carefully develop, refine, and publicize the standards.
In the competitive gaming landscape, regulatory bodies depend heavily on the expertise of qualified Independent Security Firms (ISF) to assess gaming security as an integral part of testing and certifying critical system components in Gaming Production Environments (GPE) by Independent Test Laboratories (ITL). GLI's tireless efforts to refine the Gaming Security Framework (GLI-GSF) aim to provide everyone in the gaming industry with the necessary tools for maintaining fair play and compliance.
The emerging GLI-GSF unifies patrons, suppliers, operators, and regulators, offering the essential resources for a secure and transparent gaming experience. As new modules roll out, GLI-GSF will replace existing technical security tests for land-based gaming operations, as well as interactive gaming and event wagering. The entire GLI Gaming Security Framework (GLI-GSF) and all GLI standards are free to download on the official GLI website.
We can expect a multifaceted framework, centering around strategic cybersecurity testing and certification, thorough risk assessment and management, unwavering compliance with regulatory requirements, robust data protection measures, and ongoing monitoring and updates, all tailored specifically to safeguard the gaming industry. Here's to a more secure and enjoyable gaming experience for all!
