You train your defense on the field but what about your defense online?
In modern sports, the opponent isn’t always wearing a jersey. Sometimes, they are hiding behind a screen. From stolen tactics to leaked health records, the digital threats facing coaches, athletes, and clubs are real and growing.
That is why we are proud to introduce the SPARTA Project Series (Building Digital Resilience in Sport). Supported by Erasmus+, this initiative is designed to empower sports professionals with the knowledge to navigate the digital world securely.
Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing 5 Essential Modules that cover the most critical threats in sports today. Each module features a real-world scenario with a relatable protagonist, helping you spot the red flags before it’s too late.
Here is what’s coming up in the series:
- 🎣 Module 1: Phishing
