MIAMI, LONDON and TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Jacques Villeneuve, former Formula 1 World Champion and current F4 team owner, announced today the strategic partnership with Daniel Tobok, CEO of CYPFER, as Chief Cyber Intelligence Advisor for Villeneuve's racing teams.

"The integration of advanced technology in motorsports demands equally advanced cybersecurity measures," says Daniel Tobok, CEO of CYPFER. "With Jacques Villeneuve's teams pushing the limits of innovation, we are dedicated to protecting their digital infrastructure, ensuring data integrity, and maintaining competitive advantage," states Tobok.

"Racing at the highest levels requires not only physical and mechanical excellence but also digital security," says Jacques Villeneuve. "Partnering with CYPFER gives us the confidence that our sensitive data, from race strategies to telemetry, is secure from cyber threats. This collaboration is a crucial part of our commitment to our core mission: winning races and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in motorsports," concludes Villeneuve.
