Examples of Techniques, Tactics and Procedures

Tactics, Techniques and Procedures

Cybersecurity is critical in the gaming industry, and adherence to GCB and NGC standards is non-negotiable. Our penetration testing methodologies are tailored specifically for ensuring your casino’s compliance with these stringent regulations. We follow industry best practices, such as NIST SP 800-115, OWASP, and PTES, to deliver a comprehensive evaluation of your security posture. Our approach is designed to uncover and mitigate vulnerabilities, ensuring your operations remain secure and compliant with GCB and NGC requirements.

Tactics: Our penetration testing tactics are customized to meet the specific needs of the gaming industry, focusing on GCB and NGC compliance. These high-level strategies define the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of our penetration tests, setting clear goals and objectives for each engagement. For instance, a common tactic might be ‘Compliance Verification,’ where we aim to ensure that your casino’s security measures align with GCB and NGC standards, focusing on protecting sensitive customer data and financial information.

Techniques: Specializing in comprehensive penetration testing, we employ a wide range of techniques to address the diverse cybersecurity challenges casinos face. These techniques are the specific methods, tools, and processes we use to achieve our tactical objectives. For example, under the ‘Compliance Verification’ tactic, our techniques include internal network testing to identify potential insider threats, web application testing to ensure the security of customer-facing platforms, and wireless network testing to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.

Procedures: Our procedures for penetration testing are meticulously designed to guide each assessment, ensuring thorough and consistent evaluations across all aspects of your casino’s security infrastructure. These step-by-step processes ensure that our techniques are executed with precision, focusing on areas critical to GCB and NGC compliance. For instance, our procedures include detailed steps for conducting physical penetration testing to assess the security of restricted areas within the casino, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data and systems. This rigorous approach ensures your casino meets and exceeds regulatory requirements, safeguarding both your operations and reputation.
