FC Barcelona and Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity
leader driving the convergence of networking and security, have
signed a sponsorship agreement through which Fortinet becomes Espai
Barça's new Official Cybersecurity Partner for the next three
seasons, until 30 June 2028. As part of the agreement, FC Barcelona
will enable a secure digital environment for its Spotify Camp Nou
facilities leveraging Fortinet’s industry-leading Security Fabric
platform, which will serve as a global reference for technological
innovation in the world of sport and entertainment.
The alliance between the Club and Fortinet is
part of the sponsorship programme associated with the future
Spotify Camp Nou and has been made possible thanks to their shared
goals of integrating the most innovative technological systems into
the future Stadium. FC Barcelona is committed to turning Espai
Barça into an international innovation hub, at the forefront of new
technologies. In this sense, this alliance reaffirms the Club's
commitment to partnering with leading companies and integrating the
most innovative technology into the new stadium.
This partnership represents a new opportunity
for the sponsorship program, created specifically for one of the
most important projects in the Club's history. It will open up new
opportunities, both for companies that sell directly to consumers
(B2C) and, as is the case for Fortinet, for companies focused on
the business sector (B2B), taking advantage of the global
visibility and prestige of FC Barcelona and the importance of what
will be one of the world's leading stadia.
Cybersecurity Enhances Visitor and User
Experience
As part of the agreement, FC Barcelona will
implement Fortinet’s Security Fabric platform, including FortiGate
next-generation firewalls, to secure stadium Wi-Fi, OT
infrastructure, and the data center. Fortinet’s Zero Trust Network
Access and endpoint security will protect users and devices
accessing applications from any location. Additionally, centralized
management with AI-powered security analytics will offer
comprehensive network visibility. These technologies will integrate
seamlessly with FC Barcelona’s existing IT investments, enhancing
security and efficiency across Spotify Camp Nou.
Espai Barça, More Than a Stadium
Espai Barça is a revolutionary project in the
world of sport and entertainment that seeks to update and expand
the FC Barcelona facilities, including the emblematic Spotify Camp
Nou, and transform it into the best sports complex in the centre of
a major city. Having the best cybersecurity solutions through our
collaboration with Fortinet is key to achieving this goal by
ensuring a secure digital environment and offering the best
possible experience to all members and fans who visit the
stadium.
Fortinet has been a driving force behind the
progress in cybersecurity, responsibly delivering solutions by
innovating sustainable security technologies, diversifying
cybersecurity talent, and promoting responsible businesses and
environments. Fortinet's experience is essential for such a large
project as Espai Barça, as its work with recognized public and
private entities, including computer emergency response teams
(CERTs), government agencies and the academic world, are a
fundamental aspect of Fortinet's commitment to improving
cyber-resilience around the world.
Remarks from Juli Guiu, vice-president
of FC Barcelona's Marketing Area"Espai Barça must be the
catalyst for the Club's digital transformation, and cybersecurity
is a fundamental pillar. Our alliance with Fortinet ensures that
our facilities will have the most advanced protection and a secure
digital environment for all those who visit the Stadium. This
collaboration highlights our commitment to innovation and
technology and the Club's commitment to offer the best
experience."
