JACKSONVILLE, Florida, February 1, 2022 – Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today announced a Cyber Protection Partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which will be supported by Bluefin Technology Group, as part of the Acronis #TeamUp Program for Service Providers. Through this partnership, the Jacksonville Jaguars will receive innovative cyber protection solutions to safeguard data, applications, and systems, optimize data management, and defend against cyberattacks.
Mike Webb, Vice President of Technology for the Jacksonville Jaguars said: "Technology is an integral part of our success in the sports business.
