Case Study: Panathinaikos Football Club strengthens phishing protection with Acronis

Panathinaikos FC teams up with TicTac and Acronis against phishing attacks

Panathinaikos Football Club partnered with Acronis and TicTac Laboratories to better protect its IT environment from increasingly sophisticated phishing, spoofing, and business email compromise threats. As a high-profile sports organization with sensitive player, financial, and fan data spread across multiple offices and Microsoft 365 environments, Panathinaikos needed stronger email security, unified protection, and immutable backups.

Acronis Email Security and Acronis Backup were implemented through TicTac to deliver real-time protection for inbound and outbound email traffic, stop phishing attempts, and secure backup data against unauthorized changes. The solution helped Panathinaikos quickly block a phishing incident, improved confidence in their security posture, and could have prevented losses of more than €200,000 if the attack had succeeded. Acronis also helped TicTac increase brand visibility and generate new leads.
