403Tech helped build Calgary Wild FC’s IT operations from the ground up, protecting Microsoft 365 environments and staff from cyberthreats.
THE BACKGROUND
Calgary Wild FC, a founding club in the Northern Super League (NSL), is Alberta's first professional women's soccer team. It operates in a fast-paced, high-profile environment where secure communication and data protection are critical to daily operations. As email threats continue to grow, the club needed a proactive approach to help prevent phishing attempts and other email scams across the organization.
KEY CHALLENGES
- Limited in-house IT management resources.
- Exposure to phishing scams, impersonation and credential harvesting.
- High reliance on email and collaboration tools for team coordination.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
- Reliable backup and recovery capabilities.
- Advanced email security and Microsoft 365 protection.
- Security awareness training for staff.
- Centralized visibility across cyber protection layers.
THE SOLUTION
Calgary Wild FC and 403Tech use Acronis Cyber Platform across Backup, Email Security and Security Awareness Training (SAT). The centralized platform helps strengthen defenses against sophisticated cyberthreats while making security easier to manage and respond to.
THE IMPACT
- Detected and stopped credential harvesting and impersonation attacks.
- Improved employee vigilance through effective training and awareness.
- Enabled fast deployment within approximately one week.
- Reduced operational risk and strengthened business continuity.
- Delivered peace of mind with always-on protection.
“Acronis Security Awareness Training has landed well. The format is short and practical. It enables us to understand what phishing emails look like through different lessons, which has led to a cultural shift.”
“As the Calgary Wild grows into its second season, we’re excited about the long-term partnership. With new staff and increased risk, we remain focused on staying educated, working with the right vendors and tools, and keeping our clients safe and secure.”
