Basketball WA is proud to announce a new three-year partnership with Superior IT and its cybersecurity and compliance platform DefenderSuite, which will focus on strengthening cyber security awareness, education, and protection across the Western Australian basketball community.

Over the past 12 months, Superior IT has worked closely with Basketball WA to implement and manage enhanced cyber security systems and protocols within the organisation. This partnership formalises that relationship and expands its impact, with a strong future focus on safeguarding member data and supporting child protection initiatives.

Through the partnership, Superior IT will deliver education sessions to Associations, while also providing insights into emerging cyber security trends and services for the wider basketball community.

Basketball WA Chief Executive Officer Fabian Ross said the partnership represents an important step forward in protecting members at all levels.

“Cyber security and member protection are key priorities for Basketball WA. Through our connection with Superior IT, we’ve identified opportunities to further strengthen our systems and ensure our infrastructure protects not only the organisation, but our entire community,” Ross said.

“We’re excited to formalise this partnership and provide our Associations and members with access to expert knowledge, tools, and support that will help them operate safely and confidently in an increasingly digital environment.”

Jaron Mott, Director of Superior IT & DefenderSuite said the organisation was committed to community and providing a world class standard for its clients and partners.

“We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Basketball WA, an organisation that genuinely reflects what we believe in: community, performance, and showing up consistently.” Mott said.

“At Superior IT and DefenderSuite, we believe every organisation deserves the technology and security to operate at their best.”

“This partnership goes beyond the sponsorship. It’s about investing in the people, clubs, and businesses that make WA basketball what it is, and being a partner they can count on long-term.”

Details of future education forums for Associations will be communicated in due course.
