Bitdefender has solidified its position as a global cybersecurity leader by renewing its multi-year partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP, reinforcing a collaboration built on shared values of innovation, excellence, and reliability. This extended agreement continues Bitdefender’s role as Ferrari’s exclusive worldwide cybersecurity partner, deepening both technological integration and brand visibility within the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing.
Lorenzo Giorgetti, Chief Racing Revenue Officer at Ferrari, emphasized the importance of trust in their alliance. “We are delighted to extend our relationship with Bitdefender, a company whose commitment to innovation and dependability mirrors our own,” he stated. “In Formula 1, where every millisecond and component matters, having a cybersecurity expert like Bitdefender protecting our technology and data lets our team concentrate entirely on racing performance.”
The renewed partnership includes expanded visibility for Bitdefender on Ferrari’s Formula 1 car and across the team’s operational environment. This increased presence highlights the strategic alignment between the two organizations, particularly around safety and cutting-edge technology.
Alfonso Fuggetta, Chief Digital Transformation Officer at Ferrari, noted the growing role of cybersecurity in motorsport. “As our vehicles and team operations become increasingly interconnected, robust digital protection is essential, not just as a technical requirement, but as a foundation for achieving peak innovation and track performance,” Fuggetta explained. “Continuing our work with Bitdefender ensures our digital systems are as secure and high-performing as our race cars, whether on the circuit or off.”
Florin Talpeș, co-founder and CEO of Bitdefender, drew parallels between the two high-performance fields. “Success in both Formula 1 and cybersecurity hinges on speed, precision, and forward-thinking, all supported by unwavering trust,” Talpeș remarked. “We are excited to keep partnering with Ferrari, uniting two globally recognized brands dedicated to achieving the highest standards. In today’s interconnected world, cybersecurity impacts every facet of daily life, and Bitdefender remains committed to providing trusted, advanced protection that enables people and organizations to operate safely in a fast-evolving digital landscape.”
The collaboration, which began in September 2022 when Bitdefender became an official Team Partner, evolved a year later to include direct cybersecurity support for Ferrari’s security operations. This involved helping Ferrari’s analysts validate and prioritize security alerts more effectively, improving threat detection capabilities, and speeding up responses to potential incidents. Moving forward, Bitdefender will continue to enhance these cybersecurity solutions, building on the strong results already achieved through this powerful partnership.
