Cyber security is in focus for this week’s NFL Draft, as teams pivot to a ‘virtual’ format
NEW YORK - With countless hours of research and planning kept as closely guarded as the President’s nuclear football, cyber security is in focus for this week’s NFL Draft, as teams pivot to a “virtual” format on COVID-19 lockdown.
Vixie said that the NFL Draft doesn’t offer much in the way of monetary appeal for hackers, but that he would “be much more worried about deliberate interference as performance art.” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was among the first to voice concern over cyber security during the draft, telling reporters earlier this month that he is in frequent contact with his IT team but that he remains sceptical.
Video conferencing application Zoom, which has faced criticism over security concerns, will be permitted for communication on an individual basis within clubs but not between teams and the league office. “The risk is significant, not just with Zoom but with any workplace online workplace or collaborative tool,” said Ahmed. “That’s just because since coronavirus has happened the attention of hackers has dramatically shifts towards exploiting almost anything that orbits around the home.”
