Attack Surface Management for iGaming: How Hadrian Finds What Your Security Team Misses
A Gartner Emerging Tech Radar 2025 pick, Hadrian uses AI-driven offensive security techniques to continuously map and test your entire external attack surface. For iGaming operators, this means knowing about every exposed player portal, every forgotten subdomain, every API vulnerability — before attackers find them first.
Hadrian runs 24/7/365 — continuously testing your attack surface as it changes.
What Hadrian Does for iGaming Operators
Hadrian behaves like a highly skilled attacker who never stops working. It continuously discovers all internet-facing assets — player portals, affiliate dashboards, API endpoints, cloud storage, admin panels, staging environments — and tests them for real exploitable vulnerabilities. Not theoretical ones. Not informational findings. Actual vulnerabilities that an attacker could use right now.
How It Satisfies MGA and UKGC Pen Test Requirements
The MGA and UKGC both require regular penetration testing. Hadrian exceeds this requirement by providing continuous testing rather than a once-a-year snapshot. Its audit-ready reports document every vulnerability discovered, assessed, and tracked to remediation — giving you the evidence regulators need in a format they accept.
iGaming-Specific Attack Surfaces Hadrian Covers

- Back-office and CRM access interfaces
- Payment processing API integrations

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Hadrian different from a traditional pen test?
A traditional pen test is a one-time assessment. Hadrian runs continuously — every day, all year. When you add a new integration, launch a new feature, or a new vulnerability is published for software you use, Hadrian tests it immediately. It also discovers assets you didn't know existed.
Does Hadrian replace our annual pen test requirement?
Hadrian satisfies and exceeds the MGA's penetration testing requirements. Its continuous testing model is accepted as evidence of ongoing security validation. We recommend discussing with your compliance team how to present Hadrian's reports in your annual MGA submission.
Will Hadrian affect our live player-facing systems?
Hadrian is designed for production environments. It uses safe, non-destructive testing techniques and can be configured to avoid specific critical systems during peak hours.
