Why would attackers target a sports team?▼
Teams combine valuable data with public visibility. Payroll includes large paychecks and bonuses, so fake agent and player emails asking for direct deposit changes are common. Season ticket and fan databases hold contact and payment details. Scouting, analytics and contract talks have competitive and gossip value. And game nights depend on networks that can be disrupted. A team also tends to have many short-term staff and interns, which makes account cleanup easy to miss.
How do we stop fake direct deposit change requests?▼
Make email alone insufficient. Any change to a player's, coach's or agent's bank details should require a callback to a number already on file, approval by a second person and a short hold before the first payment to the new account. We back that up with MFA on finance mailboxes, alerts for suspicious sign-ins and forwarding rules, and email authentication for your domain. We also brief players and staff so they know you'll never ask for banking changes by email.
Can you protect our scouting and video platforms?▼
We manage the access and devices around them. That means named accounts with MFA on Hudl, Catapult and analytics tools, role-based permissions so interns don't see everything, quarterly reviews and same-day removal when people leave. Laptops holding film and reports get encryption and remote wipe. Where the platform supports single sign-on, we connect it to your Microsoft 365 identities so offboarding happens in one place. Video exports to personal drives can be blocked as well.
Fans are losing tickets to account takeovers. What can we do?▼
Most takeovers come from reused passwords stolen in other breaches. Work with your ticketing provider to turn on MFA or sign-in verification for fans, watch for unusual transfer patterns and limit how quickly newly changed accounts can transfer tickets. Tell fans in renewal emails how to secure their accounts. On your side, we secure the staff consoles with MFA and named roles, since a compromised staff account can move far more tickets than any single fan.
Do you run the arena's network on game day?▼
We design, secure and support the network zones your team or arena owns, and we coordinate with building operators, concession partners and broadcasters about where their equipment connects. Game-day networks need separate zones for ticket scanning, payments, broadcast, staff and fans, with priority for scanning and payments. Our engineers work business hours, with after-hours emergency response for active incidents, and we plan event-day coverage with you ahead of big dates.
Our team uses athlete tracking and wearables. How should we handle that data?▼
Treat it as sensitive. Performance and health-related data from wearables can affect contracts and is personal to the athlete. Your collective bargaining agreement, league rules and any applicable privacy laws may set limits on how it's collected and shared, so check those with counsel and your league office. On the IT side, we restrict access to performance staff who need it, encrypt devices that store it, log exports and make sure vendor platforms use MFA and named accounts.
