Acronis, a global leader in cyber
protection and M-Sport Ford World Rally Team today announced a
multi-year technical partnership. Under the agreement, the
Swiss-Singaporean company will provide the team with innovative
cyber protection solutions designed to improve data resiliency and
create a more efficient, secure workflow.
M-Sport Ford World Rally Team will be able to access backup,
disaster recovery, file sync and share, notarization and
e-signature services from a single, intuitive console. As a result,
the team's data will be fully protected from modern cyber threats
while remaining easily accessible to team members so it can be used
to deliver a competitive edge.
While this partnership is Acronis' first with a team competing
in the FIA World Rally Championship, the company is already a
technology partner of choice for many Formula One, Formula E, and
other professional motorsport teams. World-class teams prefer
Acronis because of the company's comprehensive and innovative
approach. Utilizing cutting-edge artificial intelligence, machine
learning and blockchain technologies, every Acronis solution
addresses the Five Vectors of Cyber Protection - safety,
accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security of data (SAPAS).
These solutions will help M-Sport Ford World Rally Team ensure
the security and safety of the team's data both at events and at
the workshop, while allowing Acronis to showcase its capabilities
as it continues growing its business worldwide.
Malcolm Wilson OBE, M-Sport Managing Director, said:
"It's great to welcome Acronis to the team. Cyber protection is
becoming increasingly vital and it's important that our data is
kept secure. Working alongside a company like Acronis means that
our engineers can continue to push the boundaries of development -
their work kept safe, secure and protected from modern cyber
threats."
Dan Havens, Acronis Growth Officer, said:
"Acronis technology meets the efficiency and reliability of
teams competing in the FIA World Rally Championship. It covers all
aspects of cyber protection, helping the team focus on the
development of their car and achieving results without worrying
about the safety of their data. We are proud to be associated with
the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team and look forward to a long,
successful partnership."
