Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection and the club’s official data backup partner, held a pitch event at Emirates Stadium.
More than 200 partners and customers enjoyed a presentation and panel discussion on the importance of modern cyber protection, before taking to the pitch to compete in the Acronis World Cup alongside the legendary Robert Pires.
Acronis founder and chief executive officer Serguei Beloussov joined Arsenal IT director Christelle Heikkila to discuss the importance of protecting data, whilst former players Pires and Paul Dickov explained how data was used during their playing days.
“As football has progressed, we have had to become a lot more scientific in terms of the decisions we make,” explained Heikkila.
