Paris 2024 is getting ready to face an unprecedented challenge in terms of cybersecurity, with organizers expecting huge pressure on the Games this summer. Organized crime, activists and hostile states will be the main threats during the July 26-August 11 Olympics and the August 28-September 8 Paralympics.
Paris 2024, which has been working hand in hand with the French National Agency for Information Security (ANSSI) and cybersecurity companies Cisco and Eviden are looking to limit the impact of cyber-attacks. We can’t prevent all the attacks, there will not be Games without attacks, but we have to limit their impacts on the Olympics, Vincent Strubel, the director general of ANSSI, told reporters.
