Ferrari is the most successful Formula 1 team of all time, with over 1100 race entries, 250 Grand Prix wins, 16 Constructor's Championships and 15 Driver’s Championships. The prancing horse has been a fixture in Formula 1 since the first Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1950. Over 75 years on, the team continues to find success, as drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have both reached the top step of the podium in iconic Ferrari red in the 2026 season. A lot has changed in the decades since that 1950 inaugural Grand Prix and motorsport is no longer just about the drivers and the machinery around them. In the modern age, technology, data and analytics are core aspects of Formula 1 and it’s vital that information is protected from cyber threats. The responsibility for ensuring Italy’s flagship Formula 1 team is prepared to defend against evolving cyber-attacks is Luca Pierro, Head of Enterprise Cybersecurity at Ferrari. In this conversation, which took place at Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters, Pierro detailed to Infosecurity how the team implements a cybersecurity strategy that ensures staff are protected from cyber threats while also operating at speed. Pierro also shared how Ferrari reacts to evolving cyber threats and what the biggest issues he’s thinking about right now are. Infosecurity Magazine: You have a responsibility for managing cybersecurity across Ferrari. How do you go about meeting that challenge? Luca Pierro: Myself and my team are working to protect our brand and identity. It is the biggest challenge we face every day. We have different domains and different areas of expertise, every area of expertise has a different process. This is the real challenge because we act as one company, and we need to protect and cover all these domains while also working 24/7 to protect what we do
