Announcement of the Agreement
eCOGRA, led by CEO Andrew Beveridge, has announced a new partnership with PwC to extend its range of services. Beveridge noted that while eCOGRA has significant experience in information security reviews for online gaming operators and software suppliers, it has not previously conducted in-depth vulnerability and penetration testing. This collaboration will enable eCOGRA to offer these advanced security services to its clients, leveraging PwC's specialized expertise.
"We understand the value of our clients’ investment in information security," said Beveridge. "By working with PwC, our customers will gain access to the latest knowledge on emerging risks and current levels of security protection."
