Description

Cybersecurity in Sport - Thematic Research

Summary

The industry must ‘overprepare’ for the cyber threat. By 2025, global cybersecurity revenues will have reached $198 billion and partnerships and sponsorships with IT specialists and cybersecurity vendors should be top of the agenda for the 2022/2023 season, due to a lack of in-house skills. Intel and Oracle are the IT companies investing the most into sport sponsorship, with total sponsorships of $549 million and $441 million, respectively. Cybersecurity vendor Cisco is also active in the sports industry, partnering with the NFL to ensure end-to-end security for the Super Bowl LVI and NBCUniversal to protect Olympics coverage. The most successful clubs, federations, and broadcasters will be those with strong partnerships with cybersecurity vendors.

No company is safe from cyberattacks, but sports organizations are more vulnerable than most. Data and revenues make sports organizations cyber targets. The business of sport naturally accrues a large amount of sensitive data. This is everything from customer data from fans to performance data on athletes. The UK National Cyber Security Centre survey found that more than 70% of sports organizations had experienced a cybersecurity breach, more than double the UK average. Sports teams, federations, broadcasters, and sponsors are vulnerable to attacks due to the vast amount of revenue, exposure, and data available, as well as the multiple entry points from distributed communications.

Scope
  • The global AR software market is projected to rise exponentially over the rest of this decade. In 2020 AR software was worth $6bn globally, and by 2030, GlobalData forecasts the AR software market will be worth $100bn.
  • AR adoption in the sports industry is specific, but increasing, and fan engagement will drive AR in broadcasting and on mobile devices.
  • Tech sponsorships and partnerships will advance AR in sport. In 2021, telecommunication operators accounted for $420.56M of sports sponsorships deals and IT services companies spent $205.85M.
  • Improved infrastructure from tech sponsorships and partnerships will advance AR in sport, however smaller sports federations will miss out on large-scale technological partnerships and investment. For example, Verizon is the official 5G partner of the National Hockey League (NHL) and is trialing its 5G network for in- stadium AR experiences on mobile.
  • Leading sports federations and teams adopting AR are the NFL, NHL, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and Manchester City Football Club.
  • Leading sponsors and vendors supporting AR in sport are Verizon, Sony, Douyin (TikTok), Brainstorm, and Vizrt AR

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
