Premier Sports Network Teams Up with Booz Allen Hamilton to Tackle Cybersecurity in Sport
London, UK – [6th June] – Premier Sports Network (PSN), the global hub for senior decision-makers in sport, has announced a new global collaboration with Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH), an advanced technology company with one of the most impactful cyber businesses globally. The collaboration with Booz Allen's Global Commercial business comes in response to growing concerns around digital security within the elite sports industry. Over the past year, PSN has been in constant conversation with clubs, leagues, federations, player representatives, and service providers across its network — and one issue keeps coming up: cybersecurity.
Whether it’s protecting sensitive player data, safeguarding financial information, supply chain disruption, protecting critical assets such as stadiums or defending against ransomware attacks, sports organizations are realizing that strong cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s essential.
Booz Allen’s Global Commercial business will be sharing its knowledge and helping to educate PSN's members through exclusive insights, thought leadership, and appearances at upcoming PSN events, to help clubs and organizations understand the risks, ask the right questions, and put solid defences and response strategies in place.
“Booz Allen is delighted to collaborate with Premier Sports Network,” said Darren Bartlett, a Principal in Booz Allen’s Global Commercial business. “We are committed to supporting and safeguarding the interests that are important to our clients. The sports industry, while widely admired, is increasingly subject to cybersecurity threats. We aim to enhance cybersecurity awareness and assist PSN members in comprehending the risks they face, as well as developing robust defence and response strategies.”
This collaboration marks a step forward in making cybersecurity a core part of sport’s future to ensure proactivity over reactivity.
