LAKEWOOD, NJ – Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) is expanding its Gaming Security Framework with the release of three new modules. Earlier this year, the company introduced the first two – GLI-GSF-1 and GLI-GSF-2 – marking the launch of the industry’s only information security standard designed specifically for gaming. The new modules include:
- GLI Gaming Security Framework Module 3 (GLI-GSF-3) v1.0: Gaming Information Security (GIS) Controls Audit – Vendor Controls
- GLI Gaming Security Framework Module 4 (GLI-GSF-4) v1.0: Gaming Information Security (GIS) Controls Audit – Land-based Gaming Controls
- GLI Gaming Security Framework Module 5 (GLI-GSF-5) v1.0: Gaming Information Security (GIS) Controls Audit – Online Gaming Controls
Additionally, GLI released updates to GLI Gaming Security Framework Module 1 (GLI-GSF-1) v1.1: Gaming Information Security (GIS) Controls Audit – Common Controls.
“Cybersecurity is a constant threat to gaming operations, and cybersecurity insurance has costs that are constantly rising,” said James Maida, GLI President/CEO. “The Gaming Security Framework addresses these concerns and fills in what was a large and dangerous gap in cybersecurity for the gaming industry, because before its release, there was no direct cybersecurity standard for gaming. What GLI is doing with the Gaming Security Framework is to answer the concerns of regulators, operators, suppliers, and players worldwide.”
Each module in the GLI-GSF is a culmination of industry best practices and is continually updated based on industry feedback. The GLI-GSF was created using a collaborative approach that involved thousands of gaming industry stakeholders. The framework was intended to assist regulators by creating baseline security guidelines that they can adopt and/or utilize as they see fit. In addition to supporting regulators, the framework provides gaming organizations with comprehensive guidance for improving security across operations, helping reduce time and costs.
