PLAYTECH
As the world shifts its working patterns , and faced with an already complex set of technology stacks , Playtech ’ s Daniel Liber discusses security transformation
116
W hile Playtech is a technology company with gaming at its core , it takes no chances with its security strategy . That ’ s a challenge because the company has developed and acquired a number of technology platforms , all of which need to be rationalised in its security brief . And its customers – household name online gaming platforms with reputations to protect – need it to look after their best interests .
The task of keeping a lid on the company ’ s systems and data is head of information security Daniel Liber . Liber , who like many Israeli technologists got his start through the country ’ s military service programme , joined Playtech three years ago and climbed to his current role . “ It ’ s a great school for security management positions ,” he says . “ You learn so much from so many talented and experienced people .”
Things have changed dramatically over the course of Liber ’ s career . He reminisces about the development of the internet from the dot com bubble of the early 00s to now , pondering the milestones – smartphones , the internet of things – that have marked the technological transformation in the interim .
