Renault secures its data with Babcock
Data security has become an essential issue for companies, all the more so in an environment as competitive as F1. Renault has therefore decided to team up with Babcock, a specialist in this field.
The global cyberattack that made headlines earlier this month is the latest example showing that our societies and businesses are increasingly reliant on their IT infrastructure.
In recent years, nearly all F1 teams have formed partnerships with companies specializing in IT, data processing, and storage. Renault is the latest example to do so, as stated by Cyril Abiteboul, its general manager: Babcock MSS is a specialist in defense against complex and targeted threats faced by notable and high-value entities like the Renault Sport Formula One Team. We are therefore reassured as we begin this new partnership. Recent events have highlighted the risks in this area, and the partnership with Babcock is very timely. As we grow our infrastructure to become title contenders in the coming seasons, it is essential that our digital platform is protected dynamically and proactively.
The British company has decided to offer cloud-based solutions rather than software installed on its clients’ machines. This dynamic structure is particularly interesting for an F1 team, which must secure its data both at headquarters and during its travels, on circuits around the world.
