Acronis partners, customers, and members of the media battle
on the iconic pitch of Emirates Stadium to raise awareness of the
importance of modern cyber protection
Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today celebrated
the first anniversary of its technology partnership with Arsenal by
inviting its partners and customers to Emirates Stadium for a
friendly game of football. Eight teams comprised of staff from
global IT companies and several legendary sports organisations -
including Arsenal, Manchester City, ROKiT Williams Racing and
others - met on the iconic pitch to play in the Acronis World Cup.
The event was organized both to mark The Gunners' partnership
with Acronis while raising awareness of modern cyberthreats and the
vital need for modern cyber protection - which combines the best
advantages of data protection, cybersecurity and privacy controls.
In the face of ever-growing and changing threats to data, the
Swiss-Singaporean company seeks to expand access to ensure all
data, apps and systems benefit from cyber protection. To further
that expansion, Acronis recently
opened third-party developer access to the Acronis
Cyber Platform, which will enable development of applications
that will extend the suitability of Acronis solutions for sports
teams and other organizations even further.
"The world is becoming increasingly digital and it needs
protection that's built for modern needs. A great way to show how
data is revolutionizing the modern world is by examining how it is
used in sports by top-flight teams like Arsenal. From training
sessions videos to match analysis that help improve performance on
the pitch, Acronis' technology keeps all of that data protected,"
said Serg Bell (SB), Acronis Founder and Executive Officer. "Giving
our partners a memorable experience like today's Acronis World Cup
while illustrating the benefits of cyber protection goes a long way
to underscoring this critical need."
Modern data needs are growing daily from the amount of data to
its different uses to the number of data sources and locations. The
only way to fully manage and safeguard that data is to address all
Five
Vectors of Cyber Protection - ensuring the safety,
accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security of data
(SAPAS).
This approach ensures Acronis' services are easy to use,
efficient, and security - which is why world-class teams rely on
Acronis' existing services for backup, file sync and share, notary,
and disaster recovery. Each are designed with SAPAS in mind and are
built usingthe Acronis Cyber Platformon Acronis Cyber
Infrastructure and Acronis
Cyber Cloud.
Opening the Acronis Cyber Platform creates tremendous
possibilities for third-party developers to address each specific
vector or all Five Vectors of Cyber Protection, as the upcoming
Acronis
Total Protect does. Officially to be released at the Acronis Global Cyber
Summit in October, Acronis Total Protect delivers a new level
of cyber protection by merging backup, cybersecurity and system
management capabilities into one solution.
"As football has progressed, we have had to become a lot more
scientific in terms of the decisions we make," explained Arsenal IT
Director, Christelle Heikkila. "Data is vital in this process. It
helps us to make informed decisions across important areas of our
business including how to improve player performance.
"That is why we have partnered with Acronis and why we use the
data-cloud solution. They store, backup and allow us to easily
recover the video data from training sessions that we require to
make the correct decisions."
By partnering with world-class organizations in Formula One,
Formula E and NASCAR racing, Major League Baseball, and English
Premier League football, Acronis also benefits by proving its
technologies can perform when faced with the most intense and
demanding data needs.
SB explained, "Every club that we support provides a great
example of how Acronis technology solves real problems in the most
competitive sports environments. It pushes our solutions to the
limit, while also giving our resellers and service providers an
easy way to explain the advantages of our solutions to their
customers."
