As Paris prepares for the 2024 Olympic Games, cybersecurity emerges as a major concern with risks from crime groups, activists, and nation-states.

The French national cybersecurity agency ANSSI is working alongside Cisco and Evid to enhance security measures for the event.

With an anticipated global audience of over 1 billion, the Olympics present an attractive target for cyberattacks with far-reaching impacts.

The Olympic events are scheduled from July 26 to August 11, and the Paralympics from August 28 to September 8, 2024.

Preventative cybersecurity actions include fixing vulnerabilities, securing network ports, ensuring proper SSL configurations, and monitoring for suspicious online activities.
