Bad actors are increasingly looking to the sports industry for new targets.

Cyber attacks represent the most destructive business risk today, causing on average more than 16 days of downtime. Centripetal is honored to work closely with the Boston Red Sox to proactively mitigate cyber risk with our patented CleanINTERNET® solution, so they can focus on providing the best possible experience for their fans.”
According to Brian Shield, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer/Information Technology of the Boston Red Sox, “We understand the malicious nature of today’s cyber attackers and want to defend our network and data as proactively as possible.
