Case Study: Sheffield Wednesday Football Club achieves reliable, low-impact malware protection and centralized management with ESET

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club - Customer Case Study

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, one of the world’s oldest professional clubs based at Hillsborough, needed a lightweight, low‑maintenance anti‑malware solution that wouldn’t slow users or require heavy administration and that would support its community programme. After their previous antivirus became too cumbersome, Head of IT Richard Ford trialed ESET’s ESET Endpoint Antivirus (recommended by Insight) to meet those requirements.

ESET implemented ESET Endpoint Antivirus along with ESET Remote Administrator, enabling the club to centrally manage protection for 310 seats from a single console, deliver automated updates and maintain low CPU usage with few false positives. The result was proactive, “set‑and‑forget” protection that preserved business continuity, simplified administration and included special education pricing to support Sheffield Wednesday Football Club’s community programme.
