also changed and increased. From larger attack footprints due to a distributed workforce, to cashless technologies, iLottery, and the increased number of vulnerabilities and potential risks in the
supply chain as illustrated by the SolarWinds breach, there has never been a more critical or more opportune time to think about security and hear how others in the lottery sector are addressing
these concerns. This panel of top lottery security professionals with roles in compliance, audit, operations, and security will discuss the risks facing lotteries and how to best protect the integrity of gaming. Questions that will be covered include:

Lotteries Take on the Challenge of Corporate Responsibility Barry Pack, Executive Director, Oregon Lottery
While private sector companies have embraced their roles as responsible corporate members of their communities, many lotteries are just now digging into what it means to have policies and programs around Corporate Social Responsibility in our unique industry and operating models. Much broader than responsible gambling, CSR helps lotteries leverage their human and financial resources to deepen their commitment to supporting and improving their communities.
