This session will provide an overview of attackers’ tactics, techniques and procedures, with real-world scenarios and case studies. It will also involve finding mechanisms to detect, respond to and prevent cyberattacks, and exploring the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in attacks and defenses, diving into emerging technologies in the gaming industry and their potential benefits and risks. It will also cover cashless systems, micro-services, AI and cloud-based solutions, and their impact on responsible gaming, privacy and security. The session will highlight best practices, discuss adapting regulations to the digital world and address the regulatory challenges of online gaming.
It must also be recognized that the IAGR Board of Directors works hard to provide its members with the support they need.
Remember that ARSJPA’s first participation in the IAGR conference dates back to last year in Botswana. So in one year, it was able to join the powerful global organization of gaming regulators.
Carrying out the voice of Guinea within such an organization is a feat for this young regulatory authority for the gaming and similar practices sector. This sufficiently proves the dynamism and competence of the ARSJPA management team, at its head the patriot Mamadou CISSE.
In addition to tangible results at the national level, this state structure is fighting remarkably and tirelessly for international recognition as a member of this prestigious organization that is the IAGR.
