Cybeats Announces Trial Engagement with S&P 500 Interactive Home Entertainment Company; Penetrates New Gaming Vertical with One of the World's Largest Gaming Companies

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 13, 2022) - Cybeats Technologies Corp. (CSE: CYBT) ("Cybeats'' or the "Company") is pleased to report a trial engagement for its cybersecurity platform with one of top five largest diversified video game and entertainment software companies in the world.

The trial engagement is for Cybeats SBOM Studio¹, an enterprise SBOM Management and software supply chain intelligence technology platform. SBOM Studio provides organizations, including large video game companies, the capability to efficiently manage SBOMs and software vulnerabilities, and provides proactive mitigation of cybersecurity risks to their software and valuable assets.

"This is another strong vote of confidence from another Fortune 500 company based on the value of our SBOM Management solution," said Yoav Raiter, CEO, Cybeats. "Penetrating the large, booming gaming industry is an important new vertical unlocked for Cybeats as our SBOM Studio solution can help gaming organizations proactively protect their valuable platforms and users data from the growing risk of software supply chain attacks."

"SBOM Studio has broad applications globally, for organizations of all sizes and industry verticals, as every company is a software company at some level," said Bob Lyle, CRO, Cybeats. "The rapid growth of gaming and shift to online and cloud-based platforms over the past decade makes them attractive targets for cyberthreats, because of their valuable user data, which will only intensify as they become more involved in consumers' digital assets like NFTs or Crypto."

Over the past decade, the gaming industry has grown into the largest entertainment industry in the world, valued at $220 Billion USD in 2022 and expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9% from 2022 to 2030.² With that growth, cyber-attacks in the gaming sector have increased by 167% in the last year, according to a new report by cybersecurity firm Akamai³. The growing amount of data collected by gaming companies also makes them attractive targets for cyber criminals who seek financial gains or simply want to execute malicious attacks on companies or players. Cyber criminals also look to steal virtual goods, sell fake non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and carry out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on gaming platforms.⁴
