Acronis' second #TeamUp sports partnership in Australia and its
first football partnership in the region.

well-protected, allowing us to focus on what we do best—playing
great football and winning games."

will enhance the club's cybersecurity posture using Acronis
technology. This includes utilizing Acronis advanced security packs

protection against cyber threats. Sydney FC will be equipped with
cutting-edge security solutions, ensuring the safety and resilience
of their data and operations. Founded in 2019, Hyperix is a managed

Manager ANZ at Acronis. "This partnership is a winning play,
fortifying the club's digital defence with our advanced
cybersecurity solutions. By joining forces, we’re not only
reinforcing our dedication to protecting organisations but also
underlining our support for the sports community in our region and
across the globe."
The partnership marks Acronis’ 15th #TeamUp with professional
football clubs worldwide. It also includes significant branding
opportunities for Acronis and Hyperix such as co-naming rights on
key Sydney FC assets, the Sydney FC Business Club, and the 'Sky
Blue Lounge' match day corporate hospitality at Allianz Stadium.
The partnership will extend to special networking events and
provide recognition on men’s and women’s coaches’ polos of the
A-League. This strategy ensures high visibility and reinforces a
strong alliance between Sydney FC, Acronis, and Hyperix.
"We're beyond excited to team up with Acronis and Sydney FC,"
said Bill Bilalis, Managing Director at Hyperix. "This partnership
isn't just about using the best-in-class technology to uplevel an
organisation’s security defences—it's about teamwork. Through this
collaboration, we’re making sure Sydney FC's digital game stays on
point. It's all about reliability and security, both on and off the
field. Together, we're not just defending data; we’re teaming up
for the better good of securing the team’s digital
infrastructure."
