"We are a target. There will be cyberattacks. The key thing is to limit their impact," Attal told reporters at the headquarters of France's ANSSI software security agency. The technology risks faced by the Paris Olympics were highlighted earlier this month by a global tech outage involving the company CrowdStrike.
CrowdStrike's problems last week forced broadcasters off air and left customers without access to services such as healthcare or banking, and it also affected some operations of the organisers of the Paris Games.
