First dedicated iGaming cyber threat intelligence platform launched in Malta and beyond

Continent 8 Technologies has launched an industry-first platform that equips iGaming operators with real-time insights to stay ahead of cyber threats. 

Threat Exchange is the industry’s first dedicated cyber threat intelligence (CTI) platform designed for iGaming and online sports betting industry. 

Described as a “game-changing solution” it equips incident response teams, operators, platform providers, B2B gaming technology companies and regulators with actionable, real-time intelligence to proactively detect and share information on emerging threats, enhance incident response and deepen understanding of the threat landscape.

 “Threat Exchange is changing the game, providing unrivalled visibility into the behaviours and tactics of threat actors. Leveraging our position as the industry’s cybersecurity partner, we are able to analyse vast and complex datasets and deliver the results in a clear, actionable format,” Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8 said.

“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.”

The iGaming sector remains a primary target for cyber attacks, driven by the substantial volume of financial transactions and high-value customer data. A recent analysis reveals a surge of over 400 per cent in cyber incidents impacting both online and land-based casino operators since February 2025.

Today’s critical cybersecurity challenge is the ability to efficiently manage and analyse large-scale, complex datasets to detect and correlate emerging, sector-specific threats in real time. Threat Exchange aims to directly addresses these requirements with a dedicated CTI platform engineered to:

• Anticipate threats with intelligence-rich datasets – featuring real-time, platform-specific Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), detailed threat actor profiles, attack patterns/vectors and more – fine-tuned for betting and gaming.
• Reduce alert fatigue and prioritise high-risk threats with automated investigations – powered by billions of signals analysed daily.
• Contribute to a safer global gaming ecosystem through collective threat sharing and seamless data ingestion support.
• Strengthen security posture and ensure resilience with high-value, expert-curated reports and assessments.
• Maintain round-the-clock betting operations with exclusive insights from the industry’s trusted internet service provider (ISP) and managed security service provider (MSSP).
• Gain immediate access to the platform, ensuring seamless integration within existing security architecture and gaming environments.

Continent 8 Technologies is the world’s largest iGaming data centre and global network solutions provide, offering its services in 100+ connected locations across four continents, including Malta.

They will be exhibiting at G2E Las Vegas, from October 7th to 9th at Booth 4235. To schedule a demo of Threat Exchange at the show, you can visit this link.
