波士頓紅襪隊的最新技術夥伴,HYCU,專注於恢複基於雲計算的信息。的第一件事小聯盟棒球外學習就備份的重要性responsibilities-pitchers捕手背後扔盤子,二壘手遊擊手在背後偷玩等等。的時代,越來越多的先進的分析,大聯盟球隊現在也關心他們的幕後數據備份。波士頓紅襪隊周四宣布,與HYCU(發音“俳句”)這樣做。總部位於波士頓的創業公司,迄今為止已籌集了1.4億美元,幫助組織安全,恢複數據,否則是存儲在各種在線應用程序和服務。“棒球是非常複雜的業務,”紅襪隊高級副總裁和首席技術官布賴恩盾在一份聲明中說。“需要現代化數字轉換策略利用領先的雲功能是一個為我們的IT團隊“首要任務”。作為我們的數據保護需求繼續增長,我們需要一個更有效的方法來保護我們的任務關鍵型數據,和HYCU允許我們這樣做。“棒球隊收到幾個提醒近年來網絡安全的必要性,從2016年竊聽的太空人的球員人事數據庫最近ransomware攻擊第三方供應商地平線精算服務,涉及被盜玩家的個人信息。其他franchises-including英超的曼聯,NBA的休斯頓火箭隊和NFL的舊金山49人據說都被類似的攻擊目標。 “Ransomware attacks are off the charts; it’s one every 11 seconds,” HYCU founder Simon Taylor said. “You’re gonna get hit, you’re gonna get attacked. And when you do, you need to be able to recover your data faster than ever before.” But, Taylor added, HYCU’s data recovery services are more often used in cases of unintentional damage, when data is accidentally deleted, for instance. And these days, there’s a lot of opportunity for that, too. “There’s probably five or six apps that the baseball teams use today that are not used by anybody else—whether it’s for tracking the player, whether it’s for nutrition, whether it’s for managing medical records—they are for baseball teams,” Taylor said. “There are so many apps and we’ve fragmented our data into so many different places…. They needed an easy way that they could go in and they could set up a true enterprise grade data protection capability.” Sports teams are not unique in that regard, and as HYCU seeks to expand its business further, its deal with the Red Sox also includes signage inside Fenway Park. Worldwide spending on security solutions is expected to grow 12% this year, one of several reasons cyber-focused companies are increasing their marketing budgets, including in sports. Overall, tech is now the sixth largest category in major pro sports sponsorships. HYCU currently has 3,600 customers and roughly 300 employees. “I think what you have to do is make sure that you get that message out there, and that doesn’t just mean getting the message out there to the IT buyers,” Taylor said. “It actually means general brand awareness and having people really connect the dots between HYCU as sort of a master in its field. And again, I think there’s nothing as powerful as sports marketing to do that.” Read More About:
