About Atlantic Lottery
Atlantic Lottery (AL) is a publicly owned organization that provides governmentregulated lottery and gaming products across Atlantic Canada. Since its inception in 1976, Atlantic Lottery has returned over $12.3 billion in profits to the four Atlantic Provinces to support important services, including health care, education and infrastructure projects.
Primary Objective
To ensure that they continue to stay on the forefront of security, AL partnered with Packetlabs to continue this dedication to security by performing advanced testing on their widely-used applications for lottery machines. AL strives to outmanoeuvre both existing and potential threats related to their devices and technology–and, in turn, guarantee that their customers are protected.
The cybersecurity team at AL recognizes that proactive penetration testing is critical to ensuring:
Customer security
Business continuity
Regulatory compliance
And third-party vendor and partner safeguards
Results
The final report provided by Packetlabs was thorough and clear, providing insights that helped Atlantic Lottery’s highly skilled IT team strengthen its critical infrastructure and bolster its remote team against commonly seen cyberattack methods. The cross-team collaboration between Packetlabs and the internal IT team was strong, yielding an expansive, in-depth understanding of AL’s existing security posture.
Packetlabs really hones an organization’s ‘defense in depth’ philosophy, challenging our investment in our security products, processes, and practices. Anywhere there was a slight vulnerability in our systems, the team at Packetlabs bunkered down and dug deep. We’ve been tested by other firms before, but Packetlabs was able to discover other vulnerabilities that have eluded other pentesting vendors.
