Cybersecurity 
Modern law firms handle vast amounts of confidential client data, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), financial records, case files, sensitive business documents, court filings and more.
Formula 1 is a sport defined by speed, precision and data. For Atlassian Williams F1 Team, a team with an impressive record in F1 that includes nine Constructors’ Championships and seven Drivers’ Championships, securing privileged access to systems is as critical as its race strategy. Operating across more than 20 countries each season, the team requires a robust cybersecurity solution capable of protecting terabytes of sensitive information while maintaining peak performance on and off the track.
With Keeper Security as a trusted partner, Atlassian Williams F1 Team secures access to its privileged systems worldwide using KeeperPAM®, a zero-trust, zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that enables the team to operate at speed while protecting its most sensitive assets and data.
Nowadays, it’s fundamental to have a partner that helps us protect and safeguard all of the extremely confidential data that we produce on the track.

The challenge: Defending data on a global track
Williams faces a uniquely complex IT environment. Hundreds of devices travel between continents each race weekend, connecting to different networks in high-pressure conditions.
Normally, a computer remains inside one building – but ours travel all over the world. Wherever we go, we have to ensure our technology remains secure.
– James Vowles | Team Principal, Atlassian Williams F1 Team
Managing this dynamic access model meant constantly provisioning and deprovisioning credentials across multiple teams, systems and geographies. KeeperPAM provides a user-friendly interface that secures credentials, connections, secrets, endpoints and privileged access — all in one centralized vault.
A zero-trust pit strategy for cybersecurity
KeeperPAM provides Williams with a comprehensive platform to secure and manage privileged access across its highly distributed workforce. Key capabilities include:
- Securing privileged credentials – Privileged credentials such as passwords and passkeys are vaulted and secured within the Keeper Vault.
- Best-in-class security, built on zero-knowledge and zero-trust architecture – All data and connections within the vault are fully encrypted, eliminating plaintext exposure and ensuring each user has complete control over their vault.
-
Automation and Just-in-Time (JIT) access – Automated provisioning, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforcement and zero standing privileges reduce the team’s IT overhead and increase agility.
What’s key to us with any partnership is that there’s a synergy between both brands working together towards the same goal. And that absolutely exists with Keeper.
– James Vowles | Team Principal, Atlassian Williams F1 Team
