Specialist Lloyd’s broker New Dawn Risk has partnered with Continent 8 Technologies, a provider of managed IT solutions for the iGaming and online sports betting industry.
This collaboration merges Continent 8’s cyber security expertise with New Dawn Risk’s insurance proficiency, creating an integrated approach to risk management for operators.
Through this partnership, iGaming businesses can access robust cyber security services while potentially lowering insurance premiums. Underwriters may offer discounts based on the effectiveness and maturity of the security measures implemented.
The offering will launch initially in the UK and Europe, with plans to extend globally. It combines tailored insurance coverage with advanced cyber protection services such as Managed SOC & MDR, Cyber Threat Intelligence Exchange, DDoS protection, Web Application and API Protection (WAAP), and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for end users. By adopting this combined solution, operators can secure enhanced protection while benefiting from cost-effective insurance options.
“This partnership represents a significant step forward in how we support our clients,” commented Elizabeth Grima, Senior Executive Manager, New Dawn Risk.
“By combining Continent 8’s trusted cyber security services with our tailored insurance solutions, we are offering iGaming companies a truly end-to-end risk management package. It goes beyond traditional broking – it’s about delivering resilience, continuity, and peace of mind in a sector where cyber threats and regulatory pressures are constantly evolving.”
“We are excited to partner with New Dawn Risk,” added Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8 Technologies.
“This collaboration brings together two specialists in their fields to offer a compelling mix of advanced cybersecurity controls and tailored insurance solutions for the iGaming industry. Strong cyber defences not only protect operators and suppliers but also demonstrate sound risk management—an increasingly important factor when it comes to reducing insurance premiums. As the go-to cybersecurity provider to the industry, we’ve been delivering multi-layered protection solutions to high-risk gaming businesses for years, and this partnership builds on that proven foundation.”
