• Resorts World Las Vegas enhances its cybersecurity measures
• The Strip destination collaborates with Acronis to fortify essential systems and data

Acronis, a renowned cybersecurity firm protecting over 40 professional sports teams globally from cyber threats, announced on Wednesday that Resorts World Las Vegas will be its inaugural client in the resort and hospitality sector.

Resorts World will integrate into Acronis’ #TeamUp initiative, supported by Agilec IT, a Las Vegas-based managed service provider. The resort will implement Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud alongside Acronis Hosted Storage to protect vital systems, while Agilitec will provide continuous monitoring and assistance to ensure robust operational efficacy.

“Resorts World Las Vegas is dedicated to enhancing our cybersecurity framework through partnerships with top-tier technology firms,” stated Pete Small, the Chief Information Security Officer of Resorts World. “Our collaboration with Agilitec IT and Acronis represents a pivotal step, uniting trust and innovation to protect our guests, operations, and brand integrity.”

While there haven’t been any confirmed reports of Resorts World being a direct victim of a cyber incident, the venue took significant precautions during the Black Hat and DEF CON hacker conventions in August 2024, executing daily room inspections due to potential ransomware threats.

Cyberattacks are increasingly targeting hotels and resorts since they manage sensitive guest information, payment systems, and extensive IT frameworks.

In September 2023, neighboring casinos to Resorts World faced severe cyberattacks. A ransomware assault executed by groups Scattered Spider and ALPHV/BlackCat incapacitated slot machines, digital room keys, and reservation systems across MGM Resorts, leading to losses exceeding $100 million.

Simultaneously, Caesars Entertainment experienced a cyberattack and subsequently paid a $15 million ransom to avert the exposure of stolen loyalty program data.

Acronis also provides services to major clients, including MLB’s San Diego Padres, the NFL’s Washington Commanders, and motorsports’ Toyota Gazoo Racing.
