Manchester City has strengthened its defence after announcing a partnership with N-able, Inc.
The global cybersecurity company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, delivers business resilience and has been named the club’s official cybersecurity partner.
It will protect critical systems, data, and daily operations across the club’s digital environment.
N-able will work with the club – which beat Arsenal to win the League Cup yesterday – to integrate its technology, including the provision of AI-powered cybersecurity solutions, to further develop the existing technology infrastructure in place.
As part of the agreement, the brand will also have a presence across several digital and physical assets within the men’s and women’s first team portfolio.
James Tennant, director of technology – information security at City Football Group, said: “Manchester City is a leading global brand within sport and beyond and with that comes the requirement for us to continually invest in technology and services to protect our people, our data, and our operations.
“N-able offers advanced end-to-end solutions that will help us as we continue to evolve and future-proof operations and we look forward to working with them as part of this new agreement announced today.”
Vikram Ramesh, chief marketing officer at N-able, added: “The best teams in the world don’t just perform, they protect what makes performance possible.
“Manchester City operates at elite speed, across global markets, with zero tolerance for disruption. That’s exactly the environment N-able was built for.
“This partnership is a statement about where cybersecurity is heading – toward partners who build the resilience that lets world-class organizations keep moving forward.”
