Continent 8 Technologies, a leading provider of global managed hosting, connectivity, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions for the iGaming industry, has announced the expansion of its cybersecurity collaboration with the iGaming aggregator Alea.
Alea is a leading iGaming aggregator, offering a customizable platform that provides operators worldwide with seamless access to over 16,000 games from 160+ top-tier providers through a single API integration. In addition to game aggregation, Alea has introduced Alea Pay, an exclusive payment gateway that further optimizes financial transactions.
In 2024, the company strengthened its cybersecurity framework through a strategic partnership with Continent 8 and achieved VAPT certification.
Building on its current programme of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services with Continent 8, Alea has strengthened its partnership with Continent 8 and its cybersecurity division, C8 Secure, by integrating Security Audit and Vulnerability Scan (V-Scan) services. This strategic initiative further enhances Alea’s cybersecurity posture and underscores the company’s ongoing investment in the resilience and integrity of its infrastructure.
The expanded cybersecurity assessment programme delivers a wide range of benefits for Alea and its operator network, including:
- Identifying, assessing and mitigating vulnerabilities in IT infrastructures, applications and networks;
- Ensuring compliance with industry best practises and cybersecurity frameworks by evaluating security policies, procedures and governance;
- Recognising new vulnerabilities, highlighting areas for improvement and prioritising remediation efforts;
- Developing a customised roadmap for ongoing improvement to enhance cybersecurity posture and maturity;
- Enhancing the trust and confidence of customers and partners by implementing industry-best cybersecurity measures.
Eduard Fumás, CTO at Alea, shared: “Security is built into everything we do at Alea. We’ve always believed that operators and their players deserve the highest level of protection. This is why we’ve invested in strong encryption, fraud prevention tools and a robust infrastructure from day one. Working with Continent 8 has helped us put that commitment to the test. Their expertise allows us to validate and strengthen our systems with confidence. We’re proud of how far we’ve come together, and even more excited about what’s next as we keep raising the bar and building a platform that our partners can trust completely.”
Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8 added: “As Alea continues to grow and expand, its proactive commitment to maintaining a secure iGaming aggregator platform becomes paramount. In our ongoing collaboration with Alea, we remain dedicated to fostering and supporting their cybersecurity initiatives – ensuring that both Alea and its extensive partner ecosystem stay protected, resilient and prepared.”
Continent 8 will be exhibiting at SBC Summit Lisbon, from 16-18 September at Stand C80, to share and explore the best practices and strategies for advancing organisations’ cybersecurity initiatives.
