NEW YORK, March 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today announced its latest strategic partnership with the New York Yankees, which will be supported by Digacore, a managed services company that provides proactive, expert-driven IT consulting and management to transform businesses.

The Acronis #TeamUp Program exclusively offers managed service providers (MSPs) an opportunity to partner with global sports teams to keep their data safe. Through this partnership, Digacore will provide the New York Yankees with Acronis’ innovative cyber protection including Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, Acronis Advanced Backup, and Acronis Advanced Security.

“We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with Digacore via the Acronis #TeamUp Program,” said Mike Lane, New York Yankees Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer. “The foundation of safety offered by Digacore’s best in class cybersecurity tools will allow us to focus our IT efforts toward achieving technological efficiencies and bottom-line company objectives rather than spending time and valuable resources on defensive measures to prevent and parry cyberattacks. Our databases and proprietary systems are essential to our success both on and off the field, and having confidence in their integrity and privacy through our partnership with Digacore is an asset for the Yankees that cannot be overstated.”

The use of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, a backup and recovery solution enhanced with endpoint protection and a security management toolkit for centralized monitoring, is part of Acronis’ suite of solutions to optimize cybersecurity and data management capabilities. Acronis Cyber Protection provides the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) services required to protect professional sports teams in the digital era.

"This announcement with the globally renowned team, the New York Yankees, marks a significant milestone for Acronis and our expanding #TeamUp Program,” said Pat Hurley, RVP Americas at Acronis. “Partnering with Digacore, we’re set up for success in elevating the team’s sports technology capabilities and advancements. Together, we're not only safeguarding the data of a legendary franchise but also shaping the future of cyber protection in professional sports."

The partnership agreement will provide Digacore, as the MSP, with powerful sports marketing and business development opportunities including the entitlement of Yankee Stadium's Banquet & Conference Center which will be renamed the Digacore Banquet and Conference Center.

“As the chosen MSP for the Acronis #TeamUp program, we are honored to play a pivotal role in this innovative collaboration,” said Jacob Berezin, Director of Business Development, at Digacore. “Our expertise in delivering top-tier managed services aligns seamlessly with Acronis's commitment to integrating robust IT infrastructure and advanced cybersecurity measures. The commitment to innovation and excellence mirrors our own values, making this partnership a natural fit. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to a mutually beneficial journey with Acronis and the New York Yankees."
