Rugby Australia are pleased to announce a multi-year partnership extension with Australia's leading cyber security services firm CyberCX, part of Accenture, shoring up the Wallabies and Wallaroos defence through to the end of 2027.
As the Official Cyber Security Services Partner, CyberCX will continue to play a critical role in securing the technology infrastructure of the sport, protecting sensitive data and intellectual property as well as improving organisational risk assessments.
The partnership extension will see CyberCX branding feature in both the Wallabies and Wallaroos coaches' boxes for all home Test matches, symbolising the secure environment required for real-time tactical decision-making.
Supporters will also see the CyberCX brand integrated into the match-day experience through high-impact LED stadium signage, with the extension coming at a time when the intersection of sport and technology is more significant than ever.
Rugby Australia CEO Phil Waugh said: "We are delighted to continue our partnership with CyberCX. In a high-performance environment, the integrity of our data and security of our technology is paramount.
"CyberCX is a proud Australian business, and we are pleased to have them protecting our organisation and our teams for a further two years."
CyberCX CEO John Paitaridis said: "With the eyes of the rugby world turning to Australia next year, it has never been more important to secure the technology infrastructure behind the sport, protect sensitive data and intellectual property, and bolster overall organisational resilience in the face of relentless cyber risk.
"At CyberCX, we pride ourselves on being a mission-driven organisation that strives to secure our communities. Sports play an integral role across so many Australian communities, and we are enormously proud of the work we have done with Rugby Australia over the past two years and are excited to strengthen this partnership in the years ahead."
