Acronis has announced an Official Artificial Intelligence Partner partnership with the historic Italian football team A.S. Roma. Acronis will provide the Rome-based club with solutions built on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to process key information in order to optimize sporting and business processes. The partnership will also include cyber protection solutions for critical data and infrastructure.
“Professional football is constantly evolving, and we are now entering a period in which immediate access to the right data is a decisive factor in a winning strategy,” said Franceso Calvo, Chief Operating Officer, A.S. Roma. “However, more important data also means greater risks arising from its loss. That is why we have partnered with Acronis not only to help us analyze and improve the quality of our data, but also to protect it more effectively. Being #CyberFit with Acronis is very important to us.”
The main focus of the partnership is the use of AI and ML technologies. They will be applied both in data analytics and in many of the solutions A.S. Roma uses to protect its systems. One of these solutions is Acronis Cyber Protect, an integrated data protection and cybersecurity solution built on AI. Everything the organization uses to protect itself from cyber threats and data loss, including backup and recovery, malware protection, and security management, can be managed from a single console.
“The existence of multiple malware protection, backup, and similar solutions leaves various gaps in the IT infrastructure that hackers can exploit,” said Jan-Jaap Jager, Vice President of Acronis. “Acronis Cyber Protect gives organizations such as A.S. Roma the confidence that their data is secure and that the entire infrastructure is resilient to outages in day-to-day operations. In addition to protection, Acronis will also collaborate on the analysis of sporting and business data using AI and ML technologies, which will help the club address, in particular, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
A.S. Roma is another sports club with which Acronis has established an official technology partnership. In football, it also works with clubs such as Inter Milan, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, and in Formula 1 with the Williams team. More information at https://acronis.sport.
