As well as Eintracht’s international brand appeal, our approach to digital projects and sales strategies were also key decision factors for Kaspersky choosing to come on board with us. This cooperation also gives us a chance to put a stronger focus on IT security within Eintracht’s business and as a result raise awareness of the topic amongst our customers and partners. There is a greater need for awareness of IT security in the business world.“

Eintracht is the ideal partner for us as the club sets the bar in the Bundesliga in terms of digitizing its infrastructure and communication channels.
