Schaffhausen, SWITZERLAND - April 22, 2020 - Acronis, a global leader in cyber
protection, is proud to announce a new technology partnership with
the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL).
Under the multi-year agreement, Acronis will provide innovative
cyber protection solutions for the team's IT infrastructure.
Acronis' easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection solutions
will protect the team's valuable workloads, so the team remains
#CyberFit and ready to take on the challenges of 2020 and
beyond.
Through its partnership, Acronis will assist the Washington
Redskins as they continue preparations for the upcoming season, and
continue to innovate business functions with the changing global
landscape due to COVID-19. While the virus has placed live sports
on a temporary hold, Acronis and the Washington Redskins are
exploring a number of joint projects to manage their enormous data
volumes and sophisticated digital environment more effectively and
securely.
As organizational operations have moved to a digital and virtual
environment, the Washington Redskins have continued to innovate
their preparation for the 2020 NFL Season. A great example is the
Washington
Redskins 2020 Virtual Draft Experience, to be held from
Thursday, April 23 to Saturday, April 25.
Because of this move to the online space, the IT-driven nature
of this experience has been magnified, as has the value of the
data, applications and systems, and while sports matches have gone
into temporary hibernation, cyber criminals haven't.
They are escalating their current activities with additional
ransomware,
spear phishing, and other advanced attacks, making the cyber
protection of data and systems and being #CyberFit more important
than ever.
With Acronis, the Washington Redskins' data, applications, and
systems will be fully protected. 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 and
easily accessible for the smooth daily operations of businesses and
organizations - even during the current challenging times.
"We are excited to welcome Acronis to the Washington Redskins
family as our Official Cyber Protection Partner." said Scott
Shepherd, Senior Vice President, Washington Redskins. "Acronis
cyber protection will help keep our data safe, while also powering
our organization's performance."
Acronis Founder and CEO, Serg Bell, said, "Acronis cyber
protection technology continues to help our sports partners become
#CyberFit by protecting their valuable workloads and ensuring
reliability of IT during these turbulent times. We are proud to
partner with a legendary NFL franchise like the Washington Redskins
and look forward to successfully innovating together in the
future."
