Alpine confirms new partnership with $4.43B cybersecurity business

The BWT Alpine F1 Team has secured a new partnership with cybersecurity company Arctic Wolf, a company valued at $4.43 billion according to Sacra.

The Enstone squad will undergo a digital security overhaul, with the company implementing its new Aurora Endpoint Security processes to support the team as they enter the 2025 F1 season. The platform, powered by Arctic Wolf's Alpha AI, will look after the data being used throughout the season. According to a press release, it "processes over seven trillion security events to deliver security outcomes with the scale and precision necessary to ensure peak performance on and off the track. "

As you'd expect, viewers will spot Arctic Wolf branding on the car, race suits, and around the garage. 

Dan Larson, Chief Marketing Officer, Arctic Wolf, said the following of the deal:

“The partnership between Arctic Wolf and BWT Alpine Formula One Team reflects a shared commitment to precision, speed, and the pursuit of excellence.

“The Arctic Wolf Aurora Platform and the newly launched Aurora Endpoint Security are built to help organizations ascend to new heights of cybersecurity and business resilience so that they can focus on what they do best, and for the BWT Alpine Formula One Team, that means going fast, pushing boundaries and achieving amazing results.”

Oliver Oakes, Alpine team principal since July of last year, added:

“BWT Alpine Formula One Team is laser-focused on leveraging the competitive advantage that effective security operations provide in protecting our infrastructure from the factory to the racetrack and everywhere in between.

“Arctic Wolf’s unparalleled expertise and cutting-edge Aurora Platform will provide us with the confidence and protection necessary to safeguard our operations at every level, ensuring we can dedicate our full attention and energy to what matters most: winning races.”

This news comes days after executive advisor to the team Flavio Briatore claimed that the team will be targeting race wins in 2026. 

Speaking to Motorsport.com, he said the following:

“This season is important because we need preparing ourselves for 2026 when we need to start winning races.

“In ’26 we have the Mercedes engine and, in the meantime, we need to fit in more people with experience in our team. It is the same as at Benetton, people said it was a joke because we were a t-shirt maker but after we started winning some races, everybody wanted to come to the team, people started paying attention. In the same way as Renault.

“If everybody is working together, I believe in 2026 it is possible to be winning races and in 2027 fighting for the championship.”
