Light & Wonder is a global games company that builds the tech stack behind modern casinos - digital and physical. The company creates gaming content, hardware (including card shufflers), casino management systems, and online/mobile platforms used by operators across 40+ US states and multiple countries. That means the attack surface spans point-of-sale terminals, game cabinets, RNG-critical digital platforms, and the networked infrastructure tying it all together.
For a security team, the threat model here is concrete: real-money transaction systems, player data, regulatory compliance across jurisdictions with varying data protection regimes, and physical hardware that interfaces with floor networks. The company's technical domains - gaming technology, casino systems, shufflers, digital platforms - each carry distinct risk profiles, from tamper-resistant firmware in hardware to securing APIs that move money and game state between online and land-based environments.
Light & Wonder employs over 7,000 people and operates in a heavily regulated industry where a breach doesn't just mean data loss - it means license risk, regulatory action, and direct financial exposure. The security function operates at the intersection of embedded systems, cloud platforms, payment processing, and compliance tooling, supporting both the product engineering pipeline and the live operations of casino floors and digital gaming platforms worldwide.
