DruvStar

DruvStar (legal name Arete Security Inc., d/b/a DruvStar) was founded in 2018 by Manjit Singh in Las Vegas, Nevada, where its global headquarters remain. The company focuses exclusively on the cybersecurity needs of the gaming and gambling ecosystem, including land‑based casinos, online iGaming platforms, and sports‑betting operators. Its solutions address the unique compliance, data‑privacy, and real‑time threat‑detection requirements of operators that handle large volumes of player data and financial transactions.

Products & Platforms

- Threat Insights – 24/7 continuous threat surveillance using AI/ML for deeper analysis and proactive threat neutralization. - DataVision – Discovers and oversees critical data assets, combines intelligent threat detection with automated data governance, and sends real‑time alerts. - Governor (vCISO and vCSM) – Virtual Chief Information Security Officer and Security Manager services covering incident‑response preparation, risk management, business continuity planning, and cybersecurity governance. - PRISM – Assesses data safety issues within critical assets, defines Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO), and provides a snapshot of data vulnerabilities. - Security Assessments – Specialised testing for casino, iGaming, and sports‑betting environments, including network penetration tests, vendor assessments, and DruvStar SWAT (rapid response) engagements.

Services & Delivery Model

DruvStar operates a Las Vegas–based SOC and delivers its capabilities as managed services: MDR, EDR, NDR, SOC‑as‑a‑Service, SIEM, and penetration testing. The company’s AI‑powered platform is designed to be holistic, covering governance, compliance, and real‑time incident response. It holds regulatory approval to offer its premium cybersecurity services to the gaming sector.

Recent Developments

In January 2023, DruvStar announced expansion plans and entered into an agreement with the Trilogy Group. The company has since launched three new ML/AI security products (details not specified in available announcements) and is scheduled to participate in the SBC Summit Americas 2025, reflecting its active presence in the iGaming industry.

Target Market & Competitive Position

DruvStar’s tight focus on gaming/gambling distinguishes it from broader cybersecurity firms. Its clientele includes casino operators, iGaming platforms, and sports‑book providers that require deep domain knowledge and compliance with gaming‑specific regulations (e.g., Nevada Gaming Control Board requirements). The company’s lean structure (11–50 employees) allows it to offer personalised service while maintaining enterprise‑grade technology.
