JAKARTA The Paris 2024 Olympics are bracing for unprecedented challenges in terms of cybersecurity, with organizers expecting great pressure on this summer's games.
Organized crime, activists and nations will pose a major threat during the Olympics from July 26th to August 11th and the Paralympics from August 28th to September 8th. Paris 2024 is cooperating with the French National Agency for Information Systems (ANCESI). ) and cybersecurity companies Cisco and Eviden are trying to limit the impact of cyberattacks.
“We cannot prevent all attacks. There will be no Olympics without attacks, but we need to limit the impact on the Games,” said ANSSI Director General Vincent Struge.
He further explained that 500 sites, venues and local organizations were being tested. Storge believes Paris 2024, which will operate from a cybersecurity operations center in an undisclosed location, is ready to meet these challenges.
“This knife faces an unprecedented level of threat, but we have also made unprecedented preparations, so I think we are better than our attackers,” he said.
Paris 2024 is also paying ethical hackers to use artificial intelligence to test systems and identify threats.
“AI can help distinguish between disruption and disaster,” said IT Paris 2024 Director Franz Regul.
They estimate that the number of cybersecurity events will increase tenfold compared to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. CISCO's Head of Partnerships, Eric Greffier, explained that four years is his century from a cybersecurity perspective.
In 2018, a computer virus known as Olympic Destroyer was used to attack the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Although the Russian government denies involvement, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in 2020 that six hackers from Russian intelligence were indicted on charges of carrying out a series of hacks over the past four years, including attacks on the PyeongChang Olympics. did.
Mr. Strulett does not reveal the names of potential attackers, arguing that it is the state's duty to do so.
French President Emmanuel Macron said last month that he had no doubt that Russia would maliciously target the Paris Olympics. The Olympics will be held against a complex global backdrop, including Russia's war in Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
