Fortinet is Juventus' official cybersecurity partner

Under the recently signed sponsorship agreement between Juventus Football Club and Fortinet, Fortinet becomes Juventus’ official cybersecurity partner for the next two seasons, from now until 2026. Juventus has also chosen to deploy Fortinet’s industry-leading Security Fabric security architecture to help reduce complexity and simplify the identification and resolution of network and security issues at the club’s facilities.

As the home, main match and hospitality venue for Juventus fans, the iconic Allianz Stadium is one of the leading entertainment hubs and tourist attractions in Turin, Italy. Juventus will deploy Fortinet solutions in the Continassa neighborhood, including the Juventus headquarters, Allianz Stadium data center, J Hotel, J Medical , and the First Team Training Center – JTC Continassa.

Fortinet's Security Fabric architecture, with its superior ability to converge networking and security features, has helped reduce complexity for organizations like Juventus by consolidating disparate security tools, increasing visibility, improving performance, and reducing response times to cybersecurity incidents.

Fortinet’s industry-leading network security product portfolio was a key factor in selecting Fortinet as Juventus’ Official Network Security Partner. The core requirement of the project was to complete a complete LAN infrastructure replacement before the start of the season, including the replacement of more than 50 switches and 160 access points (APs) across 10 locations.

Under the agreement, Juventus will deploy FortiGate next-generation firewall (NGFW) stacks to control switches and access points. By adding FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer, Juventus now has a single console that consolidates management, visibility, analysis, and control of the entire environment.

“Integrating Fortinet’s next-generation firewall and network security solutions into our infrastructure is a milestone for Juventus,” said Francesco Calvo, Managing Director, Revenue and Institutional Relations, Juventus. “These technologies provide us with superior control and visibility over our network, helping us secure our operations while optimizing performance across all of our club facilities.”

According to Mr. John Maddison, Fortinet Marketing Director, Fortinet looks forward to collaborating with the Juventus team and finding new, unique ways that Fortinet can help enhance the fan and visitor experience at all club facilities.
