January 16 – Premier League Brentford have strengthened their off-pitch strategy with a cutting-edge cybersecurity partnership, announcing Acronis as the club’s official cybersecurity partner.
Effective immediately, the deal brings together Acronis’ advanced data protection programmes and IT services company Littlefish, ensuring the club’s systems and sensitive data remain secure.
In an age where football clubs are seemingly as much technology-driven organisations as they are sporting institutions, safeguarding private data has become increasingly important. From sensitive transfer negotiations to player performance analytics, the stakes for digital security are high – and Brentford is taking no chances.
The collaboration will see Acronis and Littlefish deploy state-of-the-art solutions to shield Brentford’s digital infrastructure, cementing the club’s commitment to innovation both on and off the field.
While the exact length of the deal remains undisclosed, the partnership reflects Brentford’s forward-thinking approach to modern football operations. In a world where clubs increasingly rely on technology to gain a competitive edge, Brentford’s move is both timely and essential.
Mike Morris, technology director at Brentford, said: “Maintaining the highest standards of data protection and cybersecurity is essential for modern football operations, both on and off the pitch.
“This partnership with Acronis and Littlefish gives those of us working behind the scenes peace of mind that our data is securely backed up and protected.”
Ronan McCurtin, RVP EMEA at Acronis, said: ” This latest expansion of our #TeamUp programme underscores the critical role cybersecurity plays in modern sports and highlights our commitment to drive technological innovation and robust security.
“Littlefish is an exceptional company to partner with and will provide Brentford with Acronis’ natively integrated cybersecurity solutions, protecting their digital operations and ensuring their digital infrastructure remains secure and efficient.”
