Who We Support
Performance+Cyber partners with industries where trust is critical and stakes are high, protecting live events, sensitive news, and talent reputations in environments where a single breach can have global impact.
SPORTS
The sports industry operates in a uniquely volatile environment defined by high-stakes live events, a global fan base, and data tied to both athletes and millions of fans. The convergence of physical venues with digital systems means that a cyberattack can result in immediate, real-world consequences—from disrupting stadium operations to endangering spectators. Beyond the arena, digital platforms and athlete data are prime targets for cybercriminals, making traditional cybersecurity approaches insufficient.
Key Advantages
Game-Day Cyber Resilience
Live events cannot be repeated. We secure mission-critical systems to prevent disruption of broadcasts, scoreboards, and in-venue operations under intense global pressure.
Athlete & Performance Data Integrity
We protect sensitive athlete data—including biometrics, health records, and performance analytics—ensuring its integrity and confidentiality while supporting coaches, trainers, and medical teams.
Fan Engagement & Digital Platform Cybersecurity
We safeguard ticketing systems, apps, fantasy leagues, and streaming platforms from fraud, phishing, and data theft, ensuring fan trust and seamless experiences.
Countering Geopolitical Threats
We support the defense of major international events like the Olympics or World Cup against politically motivated attacks designed to disrupt broadcasts, manipulate outcomes, or spread disinformation.
MEDIA
The media industry faces relentless pressure: breaking news cycles, valuable intellectual property, and the public trust that underpins it all. A cyberattack can manipulate a story before it’s published, spread misinformation, or leak unreleased content. With fragmented supply chains of freelancers, remote staff, and third-party vendors, protecting data and integrity is both critical and complex.
Key Advantages
Newsroom & Journalist Digital Cybersecurity
We safeguard journalists’ communications, sources, and unpublished work—especially in high-risk reporting environments where mobile devices and public Wi-Fi are common.
Combating Deepfakes & Misinformation
We help organizations defend against deepfake videos and fabricated content that can spread instantly and undermine trust.
Protecting Content Across the Supply Chain
We secure unreleased scripts, episodes, and intellectual property across the multi-vendor production ecosystem, reducing exposure to theft and ransomware.
ENTERTAINMENT
In entertainment, reputation and intellectual property are everything. The industry’s project-based structure, celebrity-driven visibility, and the immense value of unreleased content create a fluid and often insecure perimeter. A single breach can devastate a public figure’s reputation or destroy the financial viability of a major production.
Key Advantages
Digital Persona & Talent Protection
We defend the digital identities of high-profile talent against account takeovers, social engineering, and data breaches that could result in blackmail or public humiliation.
Anti-Piracy & Revenue Assurance
We fight piracy and unauthorized streaming that directly erode revenue, with special focus on the critical hours surrounding premieres and live events.
Project-Based Cybersecurity for Film & TV Productions
We deliver agile, end-to-end cybersecurity strategies that can be rapidly deployed and dismantled for temporary projects, ensuring sensitive content and production assets remain safe.
