GLI Seminar morning: Closing the cybersecurity gap in gaming
The gaming industry faces an evolving cyber threat landscape and a patchwork of regulations that often leave critical vulnerabilities unaddressed. This session examines the current state of cybersecurity regulations in the gaming sector—what’s working, what’s falling short, and why attackers see gaming as a prime target. We will introduce the GLI Gaming Security Framework (GLI-GSF) as a practical, comprehensive approach to bridging existing gaps, enhancing resiliency, and aligning with global best practices. Through real-world breach examples, we will highlight common failure points and explore actionable steps to strengthen defences across the industry.
