It was accepted that traditional lottery operations are<br />
probably not a target for this criminal activity but it<br />
would appear that sports betting and casino games remain<br />
attractive options.<br />
With the rapid advances in technology, and with the<br />
sheer scale of devices and platforms available, the internal<br />
IT departments of Lotteries are now confronted<br />
with many security challenges. Alexander Krenn, Head<br />
of IT security at Austrian Lotteries (Austria) presented a<br />
very comprehensive overview of new technology challenges<br />
from an internal IT point of view.<br />
Carlos Bachmaier introduced an exercise entitled “Security<br />
is business: Score yourselves!!!!”. This was an innovative<br />
tool for stakeholders to assess their present<br />
operational security situation.<br />
An Independent Control system for lottery operations<br />
is an important safeguard to protect against fraud and<br />
maintain integrity. Torbjörn Borg, Chief Information<br />
Security Officer at Svenska Spel (Sweden), gave details<br />
of the different systems available and the procedure<br />
and processes used in Sweden.<br />
Thierry Pujol closed the seminar thanking the delegates<br />
for their participation, and the suppliers for their<br />
generous support. He also warmly thanked the administration<br />
of the European Lotteries and the welcome,<br />
support and hospitality of Eurofootball Bulgaria.<br />
At the end of the day the feedback from delegates was<br />
that this had been an excellently organised, well run,<br />
enjoyable and very informative seminar.<br />
