Case Study: The National Basketball Association achieves stronger cyber protection with Acronis

The NFL’s Atlanta Falcons team up with Liberty Technology and Acronis

The National Basketball Association (NBA) faced the challenge of securing sensitive data across a fast-changing IT environment, including business and financial records, digital assets, PII, and player health data subject to HIPAA scrutiny. To reduce third-party risk and keep up with complex, standard and nonstandard applications, the NBA needed stronger patching and vulnerability management, along with dedicated security expertise from a trusted partner like Acronis.

Acronis, working through Liberty Technology, implemented Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud to combine cybersecurity, data protection, RMM, and PSA capabilities in a single platform. This enabled automated patch management, centralized security oversight, and faster response to vulnerabilities, helping the NBA improve operational efficiency, save time on manual patching, and gain greater confidence that systems and patches stay current as the environment evolves.
