Tribal governments and gaming enterprises are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals seeking to exploit financial systems, vendor relationships, and operational infrastructure. The SAFE (Success Around Fraud Events)framework empowers Tribal council members to lead strategic cybersecurity initiatives that protect sovereignty, revenue, and community programs.
The Cybersecurity Seminar for Tribal Leaders – SAFE (Success Around Fraud Events), led by MGO and Columbia Bank, provides actionable insights into fraud prevention, incident response, and federal funding opportunities — tailored for Tribal leadership.
Why Cybersecurity Matters for Tribal Councils
Tribal casinos generated over $43.9 billion in revenue in 2024, making them high-value targets for ransomware, phishing, and insider fraud. Cyberattacks can disrupt essential services, damage reputations, and result in regulatory penalties. Tribal councils must lead with informed governance and proactive risk management.
