Tote UK Ltd, a rapidly growing UK business regulated by the Gambling Commission, was about to enter the online Sportsbook betting market. While their focus was on delivering a thrilling user experience, concerns about sophisticated cyber attacks loomed large. Protecting sensitive customer data, including financial information and betting habits, was paramount

Tote’s internal IT team, skilled in maintaining their platform, lacked the resources and expertise to monitor for and respond to evolving cyber threats. The leadership team understood the importance of threat detection and response but building and an in-house capability seemed cost-prohibitive
