Inside Baseball: The Red Sox Cloud Security Game

**Executive Summary:** The Boston Red Sox have adopted a cloud-first, zero-trust-oriented cybersecurity program—leveraging MLB and Fenway Sports Group resources—to protect scouting IP, fan and employee data (HIPAA/PCI/privacy), and an extensive IoT-enabled Fenway Park; their approach combines multifactor authentication and identity-layer controls, continuous vulnerability scanning and pen testing, an AI-driven automation roadmap for asset visibility and threat detection, and managed SOC/threat-intelligence partnerships to augment a small in-house security team.
