Pennell said he had a team dedicated to the issue of cybersecurity, and Atos Origin, IT partner for the main Olympic Games, said the design and monitoring of the infrastructure of the event was crucial.

Critical systems that manage the Games team are also "shared" technology is available to the public, "says Pennell.
Atos, which has been the largest IT provider in five Olympics, was convinced that the 2012 event in London would be well protected.
"We never had an attack on critical system -. Nobody has approached us first block, "said Adiba, who added that all systems were backed up at least twice, sometimes more.
