Paris 2024 Olympics: New Security Operation Center (SOC) Offering for French Companies 

DataDome, a French company specializing in the use of AI to combat online fraud and malicious bots, announces the launch of a premium Cyber Operations Surveillance Center (Olympics SOC) offering for French businesses to enhance security levels for the Paris Olympic Games. With the 2021 Tokyo Games enduring 450 million cyberattacks, the Paris 2024 Olympic organizing committee anticipates receiving eight times more, approximately 3.5 billion.

With nearly 4 billion cyberattacks expected during the Olympics, cybersecurity officials are already facing numerous challenges. DataDome wants to bolster business protection with new Premium Olympics SOC services. 

An Olympics SOC

The Olympics SOC is a cybersecurity support and expertise program developed by DataDome and available starting in April. It will feature a preparatory phase for businesses with cybersecurity testing and a review of existing configurations. Personalized and continuous support from DataDome experts will continue from July 1 to September 30, 2024.

In a press release, Benjamin Barrier, Chief Strategy Officer at DataDome said:

“The period of the 2024 Olympics promises to be crucial in terms of cybersecurity. The cyber threat will be considerable as the Games attract global attention to France, presenting cybercriminals with a golden opportunity to disrupt the festivities. With the Olympics SOC offering, DataDome’s expert teams will provide continuous support to our clients throughout the event, from monitoring to reporting. Our teams will be available 24/7, especially in the event of a targeted attack.”

24/7 Monitoring

The Olympics SOC offering is a strategic ally for businesses. It will enable them to rely on DataDome’s technological and human resources to maximize their monitoring, analysis, and reporting capabilities during the event.

The support of qualified researchers in threat management, as well as continuous 24/7 monitoring, will allow for advanced threat detection and analysis.

Organizations will therefore strengthen their cybersecurity posture and ensure continuous protection against evolving cyber threats without the need for significant resources and investments.
