A Swedish gaming firm, ATG, which provides horse racing wagers, sports betting, and casino games to approximately 1.4 million users, is prioritizing a proactive security strategy. Acknowledging the allure of their platforms to malicious entities and the sensitive information they manage, ATG has teamed up with YesWeHack, a European platform for bug bounty programs.
This collaboration commenced with a private bug bounty initiative, inviting specific specialists to evaluate ATG’s systems. Currently, they are extending the challenge to the entire YesWeHack community, encompassing over 30,000 cybersecurity professionals. This public bug bounty program seeks to utilize the knowledge of this worldwide network to pinpoint and rectify any potential weaknesses in ATG’s public-facing resources.
ATG is demonstrably dedicated to guaranteeing the security of their platforms. In addition to the bug bounty program, they are conducting a webinar on December 7th to disseminate their understanding and optimal methods for maximizing the advantages of collaborating with the ethical hacking community. Erik Täfvander, the Head of Cyber Security at ATG, underscores their commitment to innovation and security, stating, “ATG strives to blend our legacy and principles with contemporary technology to continuously enhance and evolve the gaming experience.”
YesWeHack’s service has continually impressed us, and we are thrilled to collaborate with them to proactively tackle vulnerabilities on our platform, mitigating risks before they escalate into problems.”
Guillaume Vassault-Houlière, CEO and co-founder of YesWeHack, added, “ATG clearly emphasizes a positive gaming environment and aims to establish the benchmark for the betting sector.
“Their implementation of advanced strategies like bug bounty initiatives showcases their dedication to spearheading the industry and fostering trust with their clientele.”
