Cybersecurity has become one of the most important discussions in the sports world lately. The number of attacks continues to increase at a rapid pace, with more than 70% of sports organisations saying they’ve experienced a cyber breach, and 30% having caused financial damage. High profile attacks, such as the one targeting the 2018 Winter Olympics and more recently an attack on Manchester United’s computer systems, have proven no one is immune to these threats.

We’ve identified the need for dedicated cybersecurity tools for sports entities and have therefore partnered with one of the leading Israeli companies in the cybersecurity industry, IntSights, which has a long list of blue-chip clients and who is entering the sports arena with Infront. As a cybersecurity powerhouse, Israel offers a wealth of technologies and information we are leveraging to improve cybersecurity within the sports community.

Sports organisations, with their lucrative businesses and rapid digitalization, are becoming an increasingly enticing target for attackers. While sports entities are much more exposed due to their high profiles, they have not yet taken crucial steps to protect themselves.

This presents an opportunity for Infront to cement itself as a leader in sports cybersecurity by partnering and working with industry-leading technologies, such as IntSights, and helping our peers better understand the threats we face. We believe it is crucial for all executives to learn about cybersecurity so they can take the right steps to protect their assets.

This begins with a better understanding of cyber threats from the top down within sport organisations.

On Tuesday March 9th 4pm CET, we are hosting a webinar, “Protect the Net: Confronting Cyber Threats in Sport”, which will provide executives with the tools and information they need to best protect themselves.

This webinar will be invaluable for all who attend, and we invite you to extend the invitation to your colleagues, explaining the urgency to better understand this complex ecosystem so together we can ensure our industry and our clients are safer during this Olympic year.
