Case Study: FC Bayern Munich strengthens match-day security with XM Cyber

XM Cyber and FC Bayern Munich Protecting Fans Through Digital Sovereignty

FC Bayern Munich needed a way to protect the safety of 75,000 fans at the Allianz Arena while managing a complex, technology-driven match-day environment. Working with XM Cyber, the club sought continuous visibility into risks across its critical digital infrastructure so it could better safeguard ticketing, lighting, access control, broadcasting, and other essential systems.

XM Cyber deployed its exposure management platform on STACKIT’s sovereign European cloud to continuously map attack paths and prioritize exposures across FC Bayern Munich’s environment. The result was real-time visibility, faster detection and remediation of risks, stronger operational resilience, and improved confidence that match-day operations could proceed safely under continuous protection, all while keeping data and systems under European sovereignty.
