Representatives from the Argentine and Uruguayan institutions presented models of excellence in information security management.
In the extended meeting of the Technology Committee of the Ibero-American Corporation of State Lotteries and Betting (Cibelae) last Thursday, March 6, significant advances in information security management achieved by some of its members were highlighted.
During this meeting, Fernando Boselli, General Director of Informatics at the Institute of Gambling of Neuquén (IJAN), presented the process that led the Neuquén lottery to obtain the Level 2 certification of the international standard WLA-SCS:2020. According to the institution, this achievement reinforces the institution's commitment to transparency and security in the gaming industry, and they announced they are already working to reach the certification of the new version of the standard, WLA-SCS:2024, projected for 2026.
In the same meeting, Andrés Capdevielle, Head of Internal Control and Information Security at the Montevideo Betting Bank (La Banca), also shared the experience of his organization, which has the certification in Security Management granted by the World Lottery Association (WLA). His intervention emphasized the importance of adopting international standards to ensure trust and efficiency in information management.
For his part, Pablo Piriz, IT Manager of La Banca and member of the Technology and Security and Risk committees of Cibelae and WLA, presented an overview of the changes in the technical standard that will guide lotteries in the coming years. "This update reflects the ongoing commitment of the WLA and the lotteries that adjust their processes to the standard, with technological evolution and adaptation to new threats and challenges," they explained.
In that sense, Cibelae celebrated the achievements of these institutions and their contribution to the professionalization of the gaming industry in the region. "These milestones not only strengthen operational security but also highlight the value of cooperation and the exchange of experiences among the members of the corporation," they concluded.
Recently, the Ibero-American Corporation of State Lotteries and Betting (Cibelae) announced to its members the launch of Campus Cibelae 2025, an innovative online training platform designed to strengthen professional training in the lottery and betting sector.
This new educational space will be available from the first week of March 2025 and has the academic support of the University of Concepción of Chile, linked to the Lottery of Concepción.
