Casinos operate complex, interconnected systems that make them susceptible to cyberattacks. Threat actors target POS systems, high-roller accounts, casino management platforms, and surveillance networks to steal financial data, manipulate games, or disrupt operations.
With an increasing reliance on cashless gaming, mobile apps, and online betting, new attack surfaces continue to emerge. Social engineering scams targeting pit bosses, IT staff, and VIP hosts are also a growing concern. Without regular security testing, casinos risk financial loss, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.
Modern casinos rely on digital platforms to manage gaming operations, payouts, and loyalty programs. Penetration testing helps detect vulnerabilities in these systems before they are exploited.
With the rise of digital wallets, mobile betting, and cryptocurrency payments, cybercriminals target payment infrastructure. Security testing ensures transactional integrity and fraud prevention.
Casino employees, from floor staff to executives, are frequently targeted by cybercriminals. Social engineering assessments help casinos strengthen employee security awareness and response protocols.
Casinos must adhere to strict gaming regulations, including Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) cybersecurity requirements and PCI DSS. Penetration testing helps meet compliance standards while securing sensitive guest and gaming data.
A proactive cybersecurity strategy is essential for modern casinos. Regular penetration testing helps gaming establishments identify weaknesses before they are exploited, ensuring operational continuity and regulatory compliance.
Simulating real-world cyberattacks allows casinos to detect vulnerabilities in their surveillance systems, slot machine networks, high-roller databases, and financial platforms. Identifying and mitigating these risks reduces the chance of financial fraud, system outages, and reputation loss.
Beyond penetration testing, casinos should implement strict access controls, encrypt financial transactions, and train employees to recognize cybersecurity threats. Combining security assessments with strong security policies ensures long-term protection against evolving cyber risks.
External pen testing evaluates what attackers can access from the outside of your network. In other words, we act like cybercriminals scanning the internet for weaknesses in your firewalls, websites, cloud services, or exposed servers. We search for misconfigurations, outdated software, and known vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access. Furthermore, we simulate real-world attacks to demonstrate how your public-facing systems might be targeted and exploited. By identifying these gaps early, your team can take swift action to reduce your risk
While external testing looks at outside threats, internal penetration testing focuses on dangers that come from within. For example, we simulate an attacker who has already made it past your perimeter—perhaps through phishing or a rogue device. Once inside, we explore how far they could move, what data they could access, and how easily they could escalate privileges. As a result, this test helps you understand your true exposure if your internal network is ever breached. In addition, it allows you to improve segmentation, patching, and access controls across your organization.
Wireless networks make life easier, but they also create opportunities for attackers. With our wireless penetration testing, we test your Wi-Fi environment for weak encryption, rogue access points, and poor segmentation. For instance, we simulate attacks such as evil twin setups, man-in-the-middle interception, and unauthorized network access. In addition, we examine signal leakage and guest access controls to make sure they align with best practices. As a result, you'll gain peace of mind knowing that your wireless network isn't your weakest link.
Because so much business happens online, web applications are frequent targets for cyberattacks. Our web application penetration testing focuses on identifying common and advanced vulnerabilities—such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), broken access control, and more. We carefully test how your app handles user input, authentication, sessions, and permissions. In addition, we analyze any connected APIs and backend services. Following OWASP Top 10 guidelines, we help you secure your entire application stack. Consequently, your users and data stay safe from malicious actors.
Often, it’s people—not technology—that represent the biggest risk. That’s why we include social engineering in our penetration testing offerings. Through phishing emails, phone calls, and other real-world scenarios, we test whether employees can be tricked into giving away access or sensitive data. For example, we might simulate a fake IT request or send a crafted email with a dangerous link. However, we always do this ethically and with permission. Most importantly, we provide insights into where additional training is needed—so your people become your strongest defense, not your weakest.
More companies are moving to the cloud—but unfortunately, many still misconfigure it. That’s why our cloud penetration testing focuses on AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. We search for issues like overly permissive roles, exposed storage buckets, insecure APIs, and forgotten assets. Furthermore, we follow cloud provider security best practices while using offensive testing techniques to show how these missteps can be exploited. In doing so, we help you close the gaps that attackers look for in modern hybrid and cloud-native environments.
Even the best cybersecurity plan can fail if someone can walk in the front door. Our physical penetration testing simulates real-world break-ins using techniques such as badge cloning, tailgating, lock picking, and in-person deception. For instance, we may attempt to access restricted areas or plug rogue devices into your internal network. In addition to identifying physical security weaknesses, this testing evaluates staff readiness and facility controls. As a result, you’ll understand how well your organization can stop not just virtual—but also physical—intrusions.
While traditional penetration testing focuses on finding specific technical flaws, Red Team Operations go a step further by simulating a full-scale, multi-layered cyberattack against your entire organization. In essence, this service tests not just your systems, but also your people, processes, and detection capabilities. Unlike routine penetration testing, red teaming is designed to mimic advanced threat actors—using stealth, persistence, and creativity to bypass your defenses over time.
Casinos require a trusted cybersecurity partner who understands the complexities of gaming operations, financial transactions, and regulatory compliance. Adversim brings deep expertise in securing Las Vegas casinos against evolving cyber threats.
