The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), through the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC), enabled proactive coordination and information sharing to bolster cybersecurity ahead of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. Recognizing the potential for cyber threats targeting the Games, CISA worked to strengthen U.S. private sector ties and facilitate connections with key French counterparts to promote collective defense measures.
Utilizing its role as a key facilitator between public and private sector partners, JCDC established monitoring channels and launched cyber threat information-sharing forums to prepare for significant incidents. Throughout the Games, JCDC industry partners remained vigilant, promptly alerting CISA to any potential impacts on Olympic and Paralympic activities. This allowed CISA to provide prompt updates and share critical information with the French Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information to aid swift response efforts.
This collaboration underscores JCDC’s essential role in uniting global partners to defend against cyber challenges that threaten national security and international events. The partnership highlights the value of voluntary information sharing to build trust and strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure in an evolving threat landscape.
