SOPHOS boosts TSG Hoffenheim's defences

"We are happy that we have once again been able to sign such a renowned company for our team," said TSG managing director Denni Strich. "The high-performance technology from Sophos will effectively protect our infrastructure and network at the training site and business centre in Zuzenhausen, as well as the branch offices in Hoffenheim, Sinsheim and St. Leon," explained Strich. As the official Business Team Partner, Sophos will receive an extensive portfolio of services, including title, name and other rights of use, as well as advertising on the LED hoardings, which are particularly prominent on TV, and social media campaigns across all of TSG's channels. Attractive hospitality services at home matches are also part of the range of services the Bundesliga club will provide to its partner.

Sascha Pfeiffer (Director of Sales Engineering and Professional Services CEEMEA, Sophos) said: "We are also very pleased about the partnership, since there are more similarities between professional football and IT security than you would think at first glance: The pace of life in the world of cybercrime defences is constantly increasing, with attacks on companies of all sizes launched every single second. That is why our solutions also focus on team play and in practice the system presents itself as a communicating IT security system. So team spirit plays a central role for us too!"
