Sporting Clube de Portugal, where legends such as Luís Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo once played, is one of Portugal's leading soccer clubs. Faced with growing concerns about data security, the club turned to Acronis and its long-standing partner, MEO Empresas.
THE SOLUTION
Sporting adopted MEO Empresas’ Cloud Security solution,
based on the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform, which combines backup and
recovery features with advanced cybersecurity, endpoint detection and response (EDR)
and file sync and share. The single, natively integrated solution allows the
club to protect its activity, secure information and assess the risk of a data
breach. It also enables early detection of threats and allows for the secure
recovery of corrupted data, equipment and systems in the event of a
cyberattack.
MEO Empresas manages the club’s platform.
Acronis supported the implementation of Cloud Security with specialized technical
support.
