In the fast-paced world of Formula 1, where fractions of a second can make or break a race, every detail counts. This holds true not only for building the fastest cars but also for safeguarding the technology and data that drive them. Oracle Red Bull Racing understands this all too well, which is why they’ve partnered with Arctic Wolf to protect their valuable data and operations from cyber threats.
“Red Bull Racing is in the business of producing the fastest car out there. They’re not in the business of necessarily becoming a cybersecurity company,” explains Geoff Sullivan, Senior Sales Engineer at Arctic Wolf. The cybersecurity giant’s cloud-native security operations platform provides 24/7/365 protection, allowing the team to focus on what they do best—winning races—while their data, from research and development (R&D) to strategic planning, remains secure.
Proactive and Reactive Cybersecurity for the Win
Arctic Wolf’s approach to cybersecurity is not just about reacting to immediate threats but also about anticipating them. “We’re putting them in a position to be able to detect, respond, recover from any of the data things that might be happening within and throughout their organization. We’re responding to those things on their behalf,” Sullivan notes.
This dual focus is key to staying ahead of evolving cyber risks. Proactive measures are essential to improving a company’s cybersecurity posture, while reactive capabilities ensure that businesses can swiftly address incidents as they arise. “There’s a lot that they need to do to not only react to the day-to-day, but they have to be preparing for what’s happening going forward, or what are the new things that these threat actors can leverage? So we spend a lot of time working with them to help them continuously improve, continuously get better, or make their cybersecurity postures better over time,” adds Enterprise Account Executive, Amit Vyas, emphasizing the importance of foresight in today’s digital landscape.
Creating a Culture of Cybersecurity Awareness
Arctic Wolf’s success doesn’t rest solely on technology; they emphasize the need for employee awareness and training. “In order to do cybersecurity correctly, you’ve got to have aspects of all of those services. So, one of the services that we offer is around people training,” Sullivan says.
By partnering closely with organizations, Arctic Wolf helps cultivate a culture of security awareness. Employees are trained to recognize risks, understand their organization’s unique vulnerabilities, and know how to respond in real-time. This layered approach to security is what sets Arctic Wolf apart, ensuring that clients aren’t just protected by technology but by a vigilant workforce.
A Tailored Approach Across Industries
With over 2,600 employees globally, including 750 in Canada, Arctic Wolf provides security solutions tailored to a wide range of industries. Whether working with law firms managing sensitive client information or construction companies securing complex supply chains, Arctic Wolf’s adaptable solutions address the specific challenges of each vertical.
“The one thing I would say about that too, is, like, what we find is each industry or vertical tends to have, like, industry-specific cybersecurity challenges,” says Vyas. “For instance, law firms are a big one for us. As you can imagine, a lot of private information, a lot of regulation and reputation is on the line for them, right? On the other hand, construction, which is another big one for us, there’s a particular risk in the supply chain there.”
This flexibility allows Arctic Wolf to be a trusted partner across diverse sectors, ensuring that clients can focus on their core business while leaving cybersecurity in expert hands.
Cybersecurity: A Continuous Process
Arctic Wolf’s approach to security operations is much like maintaining personal health. “In a way, there are some aspects of it that are sort of maintenance, something like some practices that you have to do. But then sometimes, like on the personal side, you might have an injury, you might have to rehab something,” Vyas explains.
This analogy highlights the balance between proactive and reactive measures that Arctic Wolf brings to the table. Most organizations, as Vyas notes, don’t have the resources to handle both consistently. That’s where Arctic Wolf steps in, offering a comprehensive solution that blends continuous maintenance with the ability to react to incidents when necessary.
With partnerships like the one with Oracle Red Bull Racing, Arctic Wolf demonstrates its ability to keep businesses—whether on the race track or in the boardroom—secure and operational. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Arctic Wolf’s focus on both proactive and reactive strategies ensures that their clients stay ahead of the curve.
