Bitdefender Is Off to the Races - From Independent Cybersecurity Tests to the F1 Circuit

On the racetrack, every millisecond matters, and so it is in cybersecurity to stop attacks. The fate of a race hinges on quick decisions, cutting-edge technology, and a solid team working as one to push the limits ever further.

Analogies between racing in Formula 1 and racing against cybercrime come naturally. A testament to that is our trophy cabinet of more than 170 awards and certifications received in the past decade alone. Now, we’re proud to announce that Bitdefender has entered a multi-year partnership with Ferrari S.p.A., to become Cybersecurity global partner of Scuderia Ferrari, which is competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship®.

Under this new partnership, starting with the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines, Singapore Grand Prix 2022, Bitdefender will display its company logo on Ferrari drivers’ helmets, as well as on the F1-75 single-seater driven by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. From 2023, the Bitdefender logo will also appear on racing suits and team uniforms. Here’s a short preview:
