Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team announces a new multi-year partnership with Zscaler, the cybersecurity platform for the AI era.
Aston Martin Aramco will use Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange platform to secure the team's most valuable assets – from car design and race strategy to the real-time data flowing between the track and the UK-based AMR Technology Campus. Zscaler's platform will connect the race team and applications directly and securely, without exposing the network to attackers.
Formula One represents one of the most technologically advanced and data-intensive environments in global sport, where vast volumes of data and critical operational systems underpin performance both on and off the track. A single race weekend can generate more than a terabyte of telemetry from hundreds of sensors on each car, all of it flowing in real-time to engineers across different time zones.
Both Aston Martin Aramco and Zscaler operate in environments where milliseconds matter, decisions can't wait, and a single point of failure can be catastrophic – whether on track or defending against sophisticated cyber attacks.
Today, Zscaler, which protects more than 45 per cent of the Fortune 500, joins Aston Martin Aramco as Global Cybersecurity Partner supporting the team's long-term ambition to power high-speed innovation and fuel its transformation into a championship-winning team. Zscaler branding will debut on the nose, seatbelts and wing mirrors of the AMR26, whilst also being featured on the driver's overalls at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Jefferson Slack, Managing Director, Commercial and Marketing, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, said:
"We're pleased to welcome Zscaler to our team as a Global Cybersecurity Partner. This partnership brings together two organisations invested in performance in highly demanding environments.
"Zscaler's belief in our long-term vision both on and off track reflects the momentum we are continuing to build across our business. Partnerships like this play an important role in supporting the future of our organisation and strengthening the technology ecosystem around the team."
Sunil Frida, CMO, Zscaler, said:
"Formula One is where the future of enterprise technology gets tested at 300km/h. Every car is a mobile data centre, every race is a global, distributed operation, and every millisecond counts.
"In an era where threats move at machine speed, defending against attackers requires advanced AI. That’s exactly the world Zscaler was built for. We're proud to provide the Aston Martin Aramco with the AI-driven security, speed, and resilience that modern sport demands."
