The Secure Accelerator

A modern Formula 1 team is a high-speed, integrated partnership. McLaren Racing’s “best-in-class” technology strategy—leveraging the power of world leaders like Cisco, Trend Micro, Darktrace, Splunk, and Okta—is a testament to this.

For decades, Formula 1 has been a two-pillar war: horsepower and aerodynamics. The 2026 regulations, with their new power units and active aero, double down on this. But they also introduce a third, invisible battlefield: the cyber-physical domain.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a defense; it's a competitive weapon. This article makes the C-suite case for AI security as the third pillar of performance, alongside horsepower and aerodynamics. Learn how to reframe security from a cost center into a measurable, data-driven advantage that provides the winning edge in any high-stakes environment.
