CyberCX has inked a two-year deal with Collingwood Football Club to act as its cybersecurity partner.
The company said it will play an important role in uplifting Collingwood’s cyber security defences and helping to protect the Club’s players, staff and fans.
The deal will see CyberCX feature on a range of Collingwood’s digital assets, including as the official partner of the Collingwood App.
CyberCX will also run educational sessions on cyber safety for staff and players across both AFL and AFLW to improve their own personal cyber security.
“This partnership unites Australia’s leading cyber security company with the country’s largest sporting team at a time when the global sporting sector faces an increasingly hazardous cyber threat landscape," CyberCX CEO John Paitaridis said
“Together, we are reinforcing our shared commitment to helping the sports sector and our communities stay cyber safe."
“Our Cyber Intelligence Insights report on the global sporting sector reveals that the impacts of cyber incidents are wide ranging and can cause significant disruption and harm for leagues, teams and the fans.
“The CyberCX partnership with Collingwood will improve the cyber resilience at the Club and help protect and defend against cyber threats.”
The partnership with Collingwood Football Club follows CyberCX’s role as the Cyber Security Partner of the Australian Open in 2024.
“We’re pleased to welcome John Paitaridis and the entire CyberCX team to the Collingwood family,” Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly said.
“With both organisations sharing a strong passion and commitment to protecting the community, I have no doubt this partnership will only strengthen our ability to do so."
“We look forward to working closely with CyberCX and are excited about what the partnership has in store.”
