APIs are the backbone of modern iGaming, but they also represent one of the industry’s biggest unguarded doors. With this in mind, Alea and Continent 8 will collaborate with KPMG to deliver the webinar “The API Governance Playbook” on October 1 at 11 AM (BRT). The 40-minute session promises to be fast-paced and practical, bringing together leading experts to discuss security, compliance, and innovation.
The panel will be moderated by KPMG and will feature top industry voices, including Alex Tomic (Founder, Alea), as well as systems integrators, cybersecurity specialists, and iGaming consultants.
Confirmed speakers include Curt Gauci (Partner, KPMG), Eyal Roz (CPO, Ruby Play), Ashley Lang (CEO, Pragmatic Solutions), Justin Cosnett (CPO, Continent 8), and Fellipe Fraga (CBO, EstrelaBet).
The discussion will explore where API governance is succeeding, where it fails, and how the industry can align speed, security, and compliance without stifling innovation.
The content will include guidance on protecting operations from misconfigured (“rogue”) APIs, silent failures, and regulatory risks, offering actionable insights directly from the industry frontline.
