Abstract Digital technology has become a cornerstone of modern sports, transforming athlete management, performance tracking, and fan engagement. From wearable sensors that monitor biometrics to AI-driven analytics that enhance game strategies, technology has ushered in a new era of precision and efficiency. However, as sports organizations increasingly rely on digital platforms, they also expose themselves to significant cybersecurity threats.
The rise of interconnected systems, cloud-based data storage, and smart stadium technologies has made sports organizations prime targets for cybercriminals. Sensitive data, including athlete health records, financial transactions, and strategic game plans, must be safeguarded against breaches, unauthorized access, and cyberattacks. Sports entities must not only adopt stringent cybersecurity measures but also stay ahead of evolving threats.
This paper explores the landscape of cybersecurity in sports, examining existing methodologies used to protect digital assets, the challenges sports organizations face in securing their data, and emerging trends in cybersecurity. Additionally, it provides actionable recommendations to strengthen cybersecurity frameworks, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical information in digital sports ecosystems.
