Nevada Cybersecurity Regulation 5
Nevada Cybersecurity Regulation 5 is a new set of rules adopted by the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) on December 22, 2022, that creates new cybersecurity requirements for certain gaming operators in Nevada. The regulation aims to protect the personal information of patrons and employees, as well as the information systems of gaming operators, from the ongoing threat of cyberattacks.
Why Nevada is adopting these new regulations
The Nevada Gaming Commission is adopting the new regulations, to address the increasing threat of cyberattacks on gaming operators in Nevada. Cybersecurity threats, including data breaches and ransomware attacks, have become more sophisticated and frequent in recent years, posing a significant risk to the personal information of patrons and employees, as well as the information systems of gaming operators.
The regulations aim to protect the gaming industry’s reputation and the state’s economy, as the gaming industry is a significant contributor to Nevada’s economy. The NGC recognizes that the implementation of robust cybersecurity measures will help to ensure the integrity of gaming operations in Nevada and protect the state’s gaming industry’s long-term viability. The adoption of Nevada Cybersecurity Regulation 5 is a proactive measure by the Nevada Gaming Commission to safeguard against the threat of cyberattacks and maintain public trust in the gaming industry.
