Security Report – 28 Nov 2025

Many SMBs think they have a security problem, but the real issue is a fragmented software suite—a mix of disconnected applications added over time. Each tool solves a single problem, but together they create complexity, gaps in protection, and higher costs.

The answer isn’t piling on more products. It’s choosing a concise, best-of-breed product suite that delivers comprehensive cybersecurity without unnecessary overlap. A well-integrated suite reduces complexity, saves time, and closes gaps between systems. Your IT provider can work efficiently, respond faster, and focus on proactive risk management instead of constant firefighting.

For business owners, a unified suite means better visibility and control. Threats, compliance, and performance can be tracked, making planning and resource allocation easier. The result? Stronger security, simpler operations, and a business that moves faster and stays safer.

United States – International Game Technology (IGT) – Media, Sports & Entertainment

Exploit: Ransomware & Malware

Risk to Business: Moderate: International Game Technology (IGT), a global leader in digital gaming, sports betting and fintech solutions for casinos and online platforms, confirmed a significant cybersecurity incident on November 17. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last Tuesday, the company reported experiencing operational disruptions following unauthorised access to its internal IT systems and applications. IGT stated that it immediately activated its incident response (IR) plan and launched an investigation with support from external advisors. While the company did not disclose the nature of the attack, taking systems offline is a common response to ransomware activity. Meanwhile, the Qilin ransomware gang has added IGT to its dark web leak site, claiming it stole 10 GB of data — an estimated 21,600 files. Although the group did not publish sample data, it labeled the archive as “publicated,” suggesting the stolen files may already be circulating online.
