Winning on the Field and in Cybersecurity: What the Colts’ New Partnership Means for Your Library

The Indianapolis Colts just made a big move—off the field. They’ve partnered with ThreatLocker, a leader in Zero Trust cybersecurity, to safeguard their systems and ensure that their operations run smoothly, whether at Lucas Oil Stadium, training camp, or on the road. This partnership isn’t just a win for the Colts; it’s a wake-up call for businesses and libraries alike.

What Does This Mean for You?

If an organization as high-profile as the Colts recognizes the need for robust cybersecurity, shouldn’t you? Cyber threats don’t just target professional sports teams. They hit businesses, libraries, and public institutions every day, often with devastating consequences. ThreatLocker’s approach—blocking unauthorized software and ensuring only what’s essential runs—aligns with a best practice every organization should follow.

Libraries and Businesses Face the Same Cyber Risks

Your patrons and customers trust you with their data, just as Colts fans trust their team to protect their information. Whether you manage a library’s public computers or a business’s internal network, ensuring that only approved applications run on your systems can prevent costly cyber incidents. With cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated, having a Zero Trust approach is no longer optional—it’s essential.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

The Colts aren’t just investing in security for themselves—they’re setting an example. They understand that cybersecurity is foundational to success. Imagine if a cyberattack disrupted their ability to communicate, manage logistics, or engage with fans. Now, apply that to your business or library. Downtime, data breaches, and reputational damage can be just as crippling in any industry.

Your organization might not be playing under stadium lights, but you’re still a target. Implementing endpoint protection, adopting a Zero Trust security model, and ensuring only authorized applications can run on your network can go a long way in keeping your systems secure.
