In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, hosts Rob Aragao dives into the intersection of sports and cybersecurity, inspired by a cyber attack at the recent Paris Olympics.
The conversation takes a deep dive into the cyber threats that have historically plagued the Olympics, from the 2016 Rio Games to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. They discuss the frequent denial of service attacks, ransomware, and phishing campaigns that target such high-profile events. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics saw an astounding 450 million cyber events, setting the stage for heightened vigilance at the Paris Games, where over 3 billion cyber threats were anticipated.
Rob and Ben explore the potential motivations behind these attacks, ranging from geopolitical tensions to the desire for disruption or financial gain. They emphasize the importance of rigorous preparation, including ethical hacking and advanced security measures, to protect such significant global events.
Tune in to hear how the world’s largest sporting event has become a prime target for cybercriminals and what it takes to defend against these sophisticated threats.
