Cyberattacks remain big threat for tribes: survey

Cyberattacks against tribal casinos and enterprises remain a big threat, as advancements in artificial intelligence leave them more vulnerable to shutdowns and theft of customer data.

In the wake of this month’s TribalNet Conference & Tradeshow in Reno, the Tribal Information Sharing & Analysis Center (ISAC) released survey results showing what tribes are facing and how they are reacting to the threats. The Center, which tracks cyberattacks and helps educate tribes about them, is also making grant funds available to help smaller tribes deal with cyber crime.
