Alea Partners with Continent 8 for Enhanced Cybersecurity on iGaming Aggregator Platform

Continent 8 Technologies, a prominent provider of managed hosting, connectivity, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions for the iGaming and online sports betting sectors, has announced its appointment by Alea, a leading iGaming aggregation platform, as the exclusive provider of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services.

Alea, one of the industry’s rapidly growing game aggregators, connects clients to over 15,000 games from more than 150 providers via a single API, simplifying technical operations and increasing efficiency. As Alea’s network expands, ensuring robust security for its game APIs and integrations is critical to maintaining operational integrity. Through its partnership with Continent 8, Alea is addressing these cybersecurity challenges by deploying a VAPT to thoroughly evaluate its current security framework.

In collaboration with C8 Secure, Continent 8’s specialized cybersecurity division, Alea has conducted a detailed VAPT assessment. This process has identified internal and external vulnerabilities within Alea’s infrastructure, enabling the prioritization of security enhancements. The assessment not only strengthens Alea’s risk management but also reinforces the security and reliability of its platform for clients.

Eduard Fumás, CTO at Alea said, “At Alea, security is at the core of everything we do. Our commitment to creating a secure, robust and scalable API solution sets a new standard in the iGaming industry, where data protection and system integrity are critical. Partnering with Continent 8 has been an important step for us in proactively safeguarding our platform and reinforcing the trust our partners place in us. This collaboration ensures that we continue to deliver a reliable, secure API experience to our clients. We’re proud to work with a partner that shares our dedication to cybersecurity excellence.”

Patrick Gardner, Vice President and Chief Security Officer at Continent 8 said, “Alea’s three principles of security, scalability and robustness resonate with Continent 8. Given the number of APIs Alea is using, their proactive approach to assessing their business and guaranteeing security for its partners is imperative.

“It’s great to be supporting Alea; we encourage all businesses in this industry to take the cybersecurity threat seriously.”
