IT security issues are an important aspect for each and every organization
within the video game industry. Within the video game industry alone, you might
not normally think of security risks being an issue. But as we can and have
seen in recent news, no company is immune to security risks no matter how big
or how small. While each of these organizations will never be exactly the same
as the next, there are common security issues that can and do affect each and
every video game company. In order to properly address those security issues,
one of the current leading video game companies was selected in order to
perform an initial security assessment. This security assessment provided a
starting point upon which specific goals and procedures were determined to help
mitigate those risks. The information contained within was initially completed
on the case study but has been generalized to allow the information to be
easily applied to any video game company.
