Bolton, tasked with accelerating growth within the company’s cybersecurity portfolio, brings over 20 years of experience to the role

 Continent 8 Technologies, a leading provider of cutting-edge managed IT solutions designed for the global iGaming and online sports betting industry, announces the appointment of Rob Bolton as Cybersecurity Sales Director. 

In recent years, the iGaming industry has faced significant cyber attacks, mainly driven by financial motives. The use of diverse payment methods, reliance on third-party integrations, and widespread use of mobile devices contribute to the industry being targeted. 

His appointment follows several years of strategic investment by the company in its cybersecurity solutions, aimed at supporting operators and suppliers across the industry. This has included developing key offerings such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Threat Exchange, and a fully managed Security Operations Centre (SOC). These developments underscore the company’s commitment to delivering robust, scalable, and proactive security services that meet the evolving needs of its customers.

Bolton has vast experience leading US, EMEA, and APAC revenue functions, having worked at global MSSPs such as Versa Networks, Proofpoint, and Infoblox. In his new role, he will oversee revenue growth across the company’s growing cybersecurity portfolio, engaging with CISOs and technical teams for Continent 8 and C8 Secure (a dedicated Continent 8 cybersecurity company) to identify the solutions required to best protect their business.
