Much more than a mere marketing deal, Atomic Data will serve as the team’s vCIO, take over day-to-day management and hardening of its servers and endpoints, provide 24×7 monitoring of its network devices, serve as the team’s 24×7 help desk, and implement SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) to step up the team’s cybersecurity posture. Additionally, Atomic Data will provide on-site professional services and support in Philadelphia on an as-needed basis.
Jim Wolford, Atomic Data CEO stated, “MLS teams are facing many of the same challenges as the enterprise – technology growing faster than staff can keep up, security threats, and a need for digital transformation. By providing Philadelphia Union with proven enterprise solutions to these challenges, their team can focus less on IT management and more on providing a great fan experience.”
