The Collingwood Football Club is pleased to announce a two-year extension of its partnership with Australia’s leading cyber security organisation, CyberCX. 

A Club partner since 2024, CyberCX has worked closely with Collingwood to strengthen its cyber security defences.

The partnership has included 24/7 threat monitoring through sovereign Security Operations Centre (SOC) services, annual penetration testing across internal and external networks and a dedicated training program to improve cyber security awareness and capability. 

This extended partnership will see CyberCX remain the Club’s Official Cyber Security Partner, Collingwood’s Official App Partner and Major Partner. 

Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly said:

“We’re thrilled to extend our partnership with CyberCX for a further two years. Their expertise and commitment have been invaluable in strengthening the Club’s cyber defence.

“Working with Australia’s leading cyber security organisation gives us confidence that our information is protected. In today’s digital world, safeguarding data isn’t just about the Club, it’s about protecting our players, staff, Members and supporters from digital threats.

“This partnership ensures we keep everyone connected to Collingwood safe online.”

CyberCX CEO John Paitaridis said:

 “At CyberCX we see firsthand how the global threat environment is deteriorating. Our recent CyberCX 2026 Threat Report revealed that cyber extortion is now the number one type of cyber incident confronting organisations, while financially motivated attacks are taking longer to detect. This impacts sporting clubs and codes, who face an increasingly hazardous range of cyber threats. 

“CyberCX is a mission-driven organisation dedicated to securing our communities, and nothing brings our communities together like sports. We’re proud of the work we have done with the Collingwood Football Club – a leading organisation in its own right – over the past two years and look forward to strengthening our partnership into the future.”
