Orlando Magic Announce Orlando-Based ThreatLocker as a Champion of the Community Partner

ORLANDO, Fla. Dec. 1, 2023 – The Orlando Magic announce ThreatLocker, cybersecurity leader, as a “Champion of the Community” (COTC) partner. The Orlando-based company provides cutting-edge cybersecurity tools which allow companies to chart their own course free from cybercriminals. ThreatLocker grows their existing partnership with the team to new heights through the COTC partnership, providing additional protection of the Magic’s endpoints through its market-leading cybersecurity services.

Through this partnership, ThreatLocker will be one of the team's eight COTC partners. These partners represent a unique tier of brands with a shared commitment to the Central Florida community. Magic COTC partners include AdventHealth, City National Bank, Florida Blue, L3Harris, PepsiCo, Simply IOA, ThreatLocker and Walt Disney World.

"The Orlando Magic are thrilled to elevate its existing partnership with ThreatLocker," said Magic Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships J.T. McWalters. "As a leader in the cybersecurity space, we are excited to help them grow their brand further in our business community and beyond.  Through this COTC partnership, our organizations share a commitment to the local community and look forward to seeing the partnership flourish through a collective commitment to the great city of Orlando.”

As a COTC partner, ThreatLocker will continue to impact the Central Florida region by supporting a variety of programs and initiatives to benefit the community. ThreatLocker plans to continue supporting initiatives like the Ronald Mcdonald House Charities and has recently launched a program with Tech Sassy Girlz, a local non-profit focused on educating middle and high school girls about STEM fields. ThreatLocker will continue to grow these types of programs in the Orlando area.

“ThreatLocker is excited to strengthen our collaboration with the Orlando Magic, an integral contributor to the Central Florida Community,” said Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of ThreatLocker. “As a champion of the community, ThreatLocker remains committed to its roots in education. Bridging gaps in STEM opportunities, breaking barriers, and fostering diversity in the industry are vital to our mission.”
