Case Study: How the NFL Safeguarded the London Games
The NFL’s GSOC is split in two: intelligence and cyber. The intelligence team has a total of seven people, led by Robert Gummer, Global Security Operation Centre Director. Gummer and his colleagues rely on Dataminr Pulse to identify potential risks in real-time, and as they unfold, often within minutes or even seconds of an event occurrence. This has allowed the GSOC team to make split-second decisions, and has made the alerts what Gummer calls “absolutely crucial to our workflow.”
As with many companies, 2020 was an unprecedented year for the NFL due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gummer and his team had to pivot and alter their usual workflow by working from home, and outside of their traditional GSOC.
Read this case study to understand how Dataminr’s real-time alerts on emerging risks worldwide allow the NFL’s GSOC to see everything globally.
