Providing Leading Cyber Protection to the NBA team and NBA 2K
League Team
SACRAMENTO, California, May 25, 2021 - Today, the
Sacramento Kings, Kings Guard Gaming and Acronis, a global leader in
cyber protection, announced an official cyber protection
partnership which will be supported by Executech. Through this
partnership, Acronis will provide the Kings with innovative,
AI-driven cyber protection solutions designed to safeguard data and
optimize data workflows to improve the team's performance both on
and off the court.
"We are excited to announce our newest Cloud Partnership with
Acronis and Executech," said Sacramento Kings President of Business
Operations John Rinehart. "Leveraging Acronis' global expertise to
enhance data storage and backup security will allow us to continue
revolutionizing fan experiences while reducing disruptions to
day-to-day business operations."
The team will use Acronis
Cyber Protect, an innovative solution that integrates
cybersecurity, data protection and
management to protect endpoints, systems, and data. This
technology will provide the team with increased automation and
productivity, including cloud enhancements, backup reports, and
antivirus and
antimalware protection. Acronis' technology and solutions are
designed around a principle known as the "Five Vectors of Cyber
Protection," namely safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity,
and security (SAPAS). This ensures that data, applications, and
systems are secure, authentic, and easily accessible, minimizing
the risk of downtime or disruptions to the Kings daily
operations.
"It's an honor for Acronis to bring our first #CyberFit Sports
Partnership to the NBA with the Sacramento Kings. The team's
dedication to data protection and cyber
security aligns with our goals to provide the best-in-class
cyber protection to the most elite sports teams across the globe,"
said Acronis Vice President and General Manager, Americas Pat
Hurley. "Together with Executech, we're committed to creating the
most secure sports programs that the modern-day technology industry
has ever seen. We are confident that this group can provide the
best technology and service to help the Sacramento Kings stay at
the top of their #CyberFit game."
Acronis cyber protection will be delivered in partnership with
an Acronis managed service provider (MSP) partner, Executech.
Executech is an award-winning, outsourced IT services provider,
supplying enterprise-quality IT to small and medium-sized
organizations across the Intermountain West.
"Executech has enjoyed a great partnership with Acronis for many
years," said Executech CEO DJ Dorff. "Acronis' commitment to
high-quality solutions have long resonated with Executech's own
approach to IT services, and we feel fortunate to have this
opportunity to work with them in delivering the Sacramento Kings a
top-in-class cyber protection experience."
By way of its partnership with Acronis, Executech becomes the
main jersey sponsor for Kings
Guard Gaming, the official NBA 2K League affiliate of the
Sacramento Kings. In addition to jersey sponsorship, fans will see
Acronis and Executech branding appear during Kings Guard Gaming
home matches and in conjunction with social media content during
the next three seasons.
Acronis and Executech will also be the presenting partner of the
Sacramento Kings Training Camp in Fall 2021.
