The professional sports industry is increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals, with hackers seeking financial gain, politically motivated hackers disrupting events, and foreign governments interfering in international sporting events. A survey from the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) found that 70% of sporting organizations are hit by at least one cyberattack annually. The sports industry faces various cybersecurity challenges, including digital transformation vulnerabilities, corporate espionage, ransomware threats, insider threats, and nation-state actors. Best practices to manage these risks include knowing and protecting sensitive data, implementing multi-factor authentication, monitoring networks, and having an up-to-date cyber incident response plan.
