CYPFER collaborates with Lennox Lewis for 'knockout' cybersecurity offering
Global cybersecurity consultancy CYPFER has announced a new partnership with heavyweight boxing legend Lennox Lewis. The firm will work with Lewis to provide digital protection strategies for high-profile sports figures, across their digital operations, brands and businesses.
“I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to stay ahead of the game—whether it’s in the ring or protecting my digital life. CYPFER is the best in the business, and I’m confident that through this collaboration, we will set new standards for cybersecurity in sports and entertainment,” commented Lewis.
Lewis is a British-Canadian boxing commentator and former professional boxer, having competed in the heavyweight division between 1989 and 2003. He was a three-time world champion, a two-time lineal champion, and held the undisputed championship. Since hanging up his gloves, Lewis has also undertaken a number of business engagements.
As digital threats continue to pose growing threats to the digital presence of public figures, athletes, and their enterprises, Lewis has teamed up with CYPFER. The consultancy supports law firms, insurance carriers and global organisations with their cybersecurity efforts, from offices across the US, Canada, UK, and Caribbean.
The collaboration between Lewis and CYPFER will focus on protecting from growing cyber threats, and provide “cutting-edge digital protection strategies” to secure Lewis’ personal brand, online businesses, and digital engagements, according to a release on the firm's website. But Lewis also confirmed that the deal would also extend to offering support to other athletes.
He added, “Cybersecurity is critical, and working with CYPFER ensures that I and my team can continue to operate without worrying about online threats. This collaboration represents the next step in protecting not just my brand, but the future of athletes everywhere.”
Looking ahead, as the sports and entertainment industries remain lucrative targets for cybercriminals, CYPFER also noted the collaboration would help offer “the highest level of protection against potential cyberattacks” to high-profile figures. Noting that “Lennox Lewis has always been a leader in and out of the ring,” CEO Daniel Tobok stated that CYPFER was “honoured to collaborate with him in securing his digital assets.”
Tobok concluded, “CYPFER’s mission is to create Cyber Certainty for all industries, and athletes like Lennox Lewis require sophisticated digital defences. Our team is dedicated to safeguarding his online presence and ensuring his legacy remains untarnished by cyber threats.”
