In the realm of casinos and gaming businesses, the battle against fraud has long been waged within the physical walls of establishments. From classic card-counting techniques to more sophisticated internal manipulations, the industry has continually adapted to safeguard against monetary losses. However, recent events have highlighted a new frontier in this ongoing struggle: cyber threats.
The high-profile cyber attack on MGM Resorts International, resulting in a significant data breach and financial repercussions, serves as a stark reminder of the evolving nature of threats faced by the gaming industry. As technology becomes increasingly integrated into operations, the risk landscape expands beyond traditional concerns to encompass digital vulnerabilities.
David Navarro, Nevada Regional President of Enterprise Bank & Trust, emphasizes the need for a proactive shift in mindset to address these emerging challenges. These fraudulent schemes come in many forms, from phishing scams to sophisticated invoice fraud.
