Football and cyber attacks

It is football time across the world. But with the popularity, also comes the pressure to protect the players’ and the clubs’ financial assets in a world where cyber crime can damage stakeholders. Two years ago, the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre reported that sports organisations were under far more cyber attacks than other companies. According to Stas Protassov, co-founder, Acronis CyberFit Sports Partners,a Switzerland-based company, football clubs have long been using data analytics to analyse and improve the performance of their players, gathering a lot of data. There is much at stake as the game grows and reaches out to new destinations worldwide but the job of the cyber crime experts to keep football revenues safe becomes all the more tough.
