Situation

The IT team at Levi Stadium wanted to ensure that no internal or external cyber attacks impacted the stadium infrastructure during the Super Bowl.

Solution

We installed our AI-based security solution to monitor all internal, external, ingress and egress network traffic. We monitored the entire network infrastructure at 20-Gbs fully inspected throughput.

Results

Utilizing AI-based machine learning, with deep packet inspection we found:

• 25 Million attack events during the Super Bowl

• 600,000 attacks were never before seen attack types

We found 2 internal critical servers that were compromised months prior to the Super Bowl and these compromises were undetected in testing done prior to the Super Bowl by:

• Levi’s Stadium IT staff

• Independent cyber security consultants

• NFL cyber security team

• Department of Homeland Security cyber security team

Due to our AI-based CC/B1 detection capabilities, compromised servers were taken offline during the Super Bowl. CloudCover B1 protected the Super Bowl 50 from potential compromise, and thus loss of TV broadcast.
