The challenge
In the world of Formula 1, technology and data are essential for maintaining a competitive advantage. Williams Racing, one of the oldest and most renowned F1 teams, faces an immense challenge in protecting its valuable intellectual property. With a globally distributed workforce utilising hundreds of devices during races around the globe, as well as sophisticated day-to-day operations, the team must ensure that their sensitive information remains secure from cyber threats while maintaining seamless workflows.
The mobile nature of Formula 1, in which teams travel to 21 different countries over the 10-month season — some of which are prone to heightened cybersecurity threats — adds another layer of complexity. Securing a distributed workforce while ensuring uninterrupted access to essential data is a nonnegotiable priority for Williams Racing.
