More than 200,000 hours were logged in by Atos, the lead technology company in charge of cyber-security for the Olympic Games, for simulated attacks on their IT infrastructure. With over 11,500 computers and servers across Britain, Atos starts running its Olympic Technology Operations Center next week. The company recruited “ethical hackers” to carry out a series of attacks aimed at finding security flaws that could be exploited. With around 12 million potential cyber security issues identified at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, roughly 14 million are expected at this year’s Olympics. By Liviu ArseneLink: Hot for Security
