New Dawn Risk partners with Continent 8

Continent 8 Technologies, the provider of cutting-edge managed IT solutions designed for the global iGaming and online sports betting industry, has entered into a strategic partnership with New Dawn Risk, a specialist Lloyd’s broker.

This collaboration brings together Continent 8’s cybersecurity services with New Dawn Risk’s insurance expertise to offer iGaming businesses a coordinated approach to risk management. Operators benefit from both enhanced security protection and reduced insurance premiums, with underwriters offering discounts based on the security maturity and controls in place.

“This partnership represents a significant step forward in how we support our clients,” said Elizabeth Grima, Senior Executive Manager, New Dawn Risk. “By combining Continent 8’s trusted cybersecurity services with our tailored insurance solutions, we are offering iGaming companies a truly end-to-end risk management package. It goes beyond traditional broking – it’s about delivering resilience, continuity, and peace of mind in a sector where cyber threats and regulatory pressures are constantly evolving.”

The new offering will initially launch in the UK and Europe, with plans to expand globally. It combines specialist cybersecurity services with tailored insurance to make protection more accessible to iGaming companies. Services include Managed SOC & MDR, Cyber Threat Intelligence Exchange, DDoS protection, Web Application and API Protection (WAAP), and Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA) for end users. Businesses adopting the package will benefit from discounted premiums, which increases their access to cost effective coverage.

“We are excited to partner with New Dawn Risk,” said Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8 Technologies. “This collaboration brings together two specialists in their fields to offer a compelling mix of advanced cybersecurity controls and tailored insurance solutions for the iGaming industry. Strong cyber defences not only protect operators and suppliers but also demonstrate sound risk management – an increasingly important factor when it comes to reducing insurance premiums. As the go-to cybersecurity provider to the industry, we’ve been delivering multi-layered protection solutions to high-risk gaming businesses for years, and this partnership builds on that proven foundation.”
