Review and coordination of cyber security for Vancouver 2010 / Luc Beaudoin, Lynne Genik.: D68-8/05-2010E-PDF

This paper presents a review of the cyber security situation leading up to, and during, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (V2010). We narrate our experience as scientific support to the Games' Integrated Security Unit (ISU) during the final months of the planning stage, as well as during the unfolding of the Games. The chain of events that led to our involvement, the rational of the selected approach, the key observations made during the review and the main lessons learned are described. We then present how the observations and recommendations derived from this review were implemented during the Games by stakeholders such as the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre (CCIRC). We conclude with key recommendations intended to assist with efficient cyber security oversight of other major events, such as Olympic Games.
