The event technology industry has witnessed exponential growth in recent years, fueled by innovations such as ticketing platforms, secondary ticketing markets, live streaming services, virtual events, RFID/POS/ordering systems, marketing tools, and event management platforms. While these advancements have revolutionized the industry, they have also attracted growing cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Given these challenges, ThreatNG's External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings solutions have emerged as invaluable assets for securing organizations operating in the event technology space. This article delves into the why and how ThreatNG's suite of solutions fortifies the security of various entities within this industry.

Ticketing Platforms

Ticketing platforms serve as the lifeblood of the event technology industry, providing the foundation for event sales and management. ThreatNG's EASM solution is pivotal in securing these platforms by continuously monitoring and assessing their external attack surface. This proactive approach allows ticketing platforms to identify vulnerabilities before cybercriminals exploit them. By implementing robust security measures, these platforms can safeguard customer data and financial transactions, ensuring the integrity of the ticketing process. Moreover, ThreatNG's Security Ratings solution provides assessments of a platform's security posture, enabling organizations to make informed decisions about their partners and vendors.

Secondary Ticketing Markets

Secondary ticketing markets have become popular avenues for buying and selling event tickets but are often rife with fraudulent activities. ThreatNG's DRP solution assists organizations in monitoring the dark web and other online channels for mentions of their tickets and credentials. Secondary ticketing platforms can protect customers from scams, counterfeit tickets, and data breaches by detecting and responding to potential threats early. Furthermore, Security Ratings offer these platforms a competitive edge, assuring customers of their commitment to security.

Live Streaming Services

The rise of live streaming services has introduced new challenges in content protection and user data security. ThreatNG's EASM solution can help live streaming platforms identify potential points of vulnerability, ensuring that streaming infrastructure remains resilient against DDoS attacks and other cyber threats. Digital Risk Protection, meanwhile, focuses on monitoring for leaked content and credentials on the dark web, preventing unauthorized access to premium content and bolstering content protection measures.

Virtual Events

Virtual events have gained prominence, especially in light of global events that limit physical gatherings. These platforms handle sensitive data, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. ThreatNG's EASM helps virtual event organizers proactively secure their systems against threats. Security Ratings help assure the safety and reliability of the virtual event platform. Additionally, DRP ensures that attendee data remains confidential by monitoring for leaks and breaches.

RFID/POS/Ordering Systems

RFID, Point of Sale (POS), and ordering systems are integral to the smooth operation of events, from concession sales to access control. ThreatNG's EASM assists organizations in securing these critical systems by identifying vulnerabilities in their external attack surface. With Security Ratings, event operators can select vendors and suppliers with solid security postures, reducing the risk of supply chain vulnerabilities.

Marketing Tools

Event marketing tools are essential for attracting attendees but often involve collecting and managing user data. ThreatNG's DRP solution helps marketing platforms protect user data by monitoring for data breaches and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. EASM provides the security of marketing infrastructure, preventing disruptions to marketing campaigns.

Event Management Platforms

Event management platforms streamline the planning and execution of events. ThreatNG's EASM solution helps these platforms proactively secure their systems against cyber threats, ensuring the smooth operation of events. Security Ratings can also enhance the platform's reputation among event organizers and attendees, attracting more business.
