Critical infrastructure of Super Bowl LIV secured with
joint cybersecurity solution
Irving, Texas & San Jose, California,
U.S. - Paris, France – November 19, 2020 – Atos, a global
leader in digital transformation, and Forescout Technologies, the
leader in Enterprise of Things security, today announce a jointly
developed cybersecurity solution for the critical
infrastructure of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida,
providing a new level of security never achieved before and
ensuring a consistent experience for fans and spectators.
Atos and Forescout Technologies implemented the
solution in February 2020, successfully securing and managing the
critical infrastructure of Hard Rock Stadium for Super Bowl
LIV. The joint solution of Forescout’s cloud-based network
segmentation solution eyeSegment and Atos’ managed security
services utilized more than 20 real-time monitoring techniques to
protect more than 7,100 IT, Internet of Things (IoT) and
operational technology (OT) devices, including point-of-sale
terminals, scoreboards, televisions, visual broadcasting equipment,
field microphones and servers connecting to the network.
“The security of our fans and their physical and
online environments is of the utmost importance to us. While more
than 65,000 fans are excited for touchdowns, most are unaware
thousands of technology devices in our stadium’s infrastructure
must be protected from malicious intent by threat actors,” said
Kim Rometo, Vice President, Chief Information Officer, Miami
Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium. “With Atos and Forescout we
recognized an opportunity to secure Hard Rock Stadium in new and
critical ways, effectively creating a defense strategy that
protects our operational and informational technology.”
As a result of the cybersecurity solution, Atos
and Forescout flagged more than 600 security events, secured 400
new OT devices connected to the network for the halftime show, and
monitored more than 1,200 point of sales devices for malicious
patterns.
“Working with Forescout, we delivered a solution
in under two weeks and enhanced Hard Rock Stadium’s cyber defense
to meet the high demands of security for a time when they were
hosting the most important game of the year. Cyberattacks continue
to get more aggressive and the sporting and entertainment industry
is a major target for these malicious threats. It’s important to
not only have security in the stands, but advanced detection and
response for the network supporting fans,” said Karan Chetal,
Vice President Strategic Engagements, Atos in North
America.
“Stadiums present unique challenges for CIOs as
they create strategies to secure their dynamic and highly connected
infrastructure,” said Jon Connet, General Manager, Network
Segmentation, Forescout Technologies. “Working with Atos, we
provide complete device visibility and network segmentation that
together help reduce the attack surface and protect Hard Rock
Stadium from today’s cybersecurity threats.”
Hard Rock Stadium has been on the cutting edge
of technology for all its major sporting and entertainment events.
Using the Forescout platform and Atos cybersecurity services, the
global entertainment destination now has complete visibility into
the thousands of devices connecting to its network, as well as the
ability to instantly monitor and control how they interact.
