Acronis seals partnership with GOG Handball Team and Kortermann-IT as Acronis #CyberFit Delivery Partner

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, 11.5.2023 -Acronis, a global cyber protection company, today announced a Cyber Protection Partnership with GOG Handball, which will be supported by Kortermann-IT as part of the Acronis #TeamUp Program for Service Providers. Through this partnership, the handball team will receive innovative cyber protection solutions to safeguard data, applications, and systems, optimize data management, and defend against cyberattacks.

Data provides unique insights in handball matches and players. To achieve on-field success, sports teams need to ensure their data is secure and protected. GOG, a top Danish Handball team understands the importance of data protection and cyber security and will hence use Acronis Cyber Protect, an innovative Machine Intelligence (MI) enhanced solution that integrates data protection with cybersecurity, prevents cyberattacks, and helps avoid downtime. Acronis cyber protection provides the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) services required to protect modern sports teams.

Mikael Johanson, Acronis Regional Sales Director Nordics said:

"We are proud to partner with GOG, a top Danish club that understands the importance of data protection and cyber security. Without cyber protection, sensitive information about athletes, coaches, and teams can be leaked, leading to financial losses and legal problems", "With Kortermann IT we have the right partner who will support us in providing the team with a full suite of Acronis cyber protection solutions to protect the team's data assets and optimize data workflow, facilitating the team performing at its best both on and off the pitch," he added.

"For many years we have had fantastic support from local and national partners in GOG. Now we also have great international partners. That makes us very happy and proud. Mostly because of how it happened. A big thank you to Kortermann-IT - a local, long-term partner and a valued ambassador of GOG, who has a great part of this partnership between GOG and Acronis. We are very much looking forward to the cooperation."
