Paris Braces for Unprecedented Cybersecurity Threat Ahead of Olympics

Paris is gearing up to confront an unparalleled cybersecurity challenge as it prepares to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer, with organizers bracing for potential threats from organized crime, activists, and states.

Collaborating closely with the French national agency for information security (ANSSI), as well as cybersecurity companies Cisco and Eviden, Paris 2024 aims to safeguard against cyber attacks that could disrupt the Games.

Vincent Strubel, director general of ANSSI, acknowledges the inevitability of cyber attacks but emphasizes the importance of minimizing their impact on the Olympics. ANSSI has conducted extensive testing on the 500 sites and venues associated with the Games to bolster their cyber defenses.

To enhance their readiness, Paris 2024 has enlisted “ethical hackers” to stress test their systems and has implemented artificial intelligence to distinguish between minor disruptions and potentially catastrophic cyber threats, according to Franz Regul, managing director for IT at Paris 2024.

The heightened concerns surrounding cybersecurity stem from previous incidents, including the “Olympic Destroyer” virus deployed during the Pyeongchang Winter Games in 2018. Although Moscow denied involvement, the US Justice Department later indicted six Russian intelligence agency hackers for a string of cyber attacks, including those targeting the Pyeongchang Games.

Despite these challenges, Paris 2024 remains resolute in its preparations, with Strubel expressing confidence that their proactive measures will put them ahead of potential attackers. As the Games approach, organizers remain vigilant, recognizing the critical importance of safeguarding the integrity and security of the Olympic and Paralympic events.
