Happy Winter Olympics Opening Day!

I’ll be honest… our team is pretty excited about the Games. A few dashboards might be pulling double duty this week with Olympic streams running in the background (shhh!). Big global events like this tend to grab everyone’s attention, and it’s fun to see the world tuned in at the same time.

But as we’ve seen time and again, moments like the Olympics also attract heightened cyber activity.

The same threats that surfaced during past international events are already emerging, with Italian officials hard at work keeping systems and infrastructure locked down. High-profile moments often mean higher risk, and a little extra vigilance goes a long way.

Speaking of vigilance… this week:

  • The Winn-Dixie Company appointed a new CISO.

  • Gartner identified the top cybersecurity trends for 2026. We analyzed how they differ from 2024 and 2025.

  • Researchers flagged security risks tied to OpenClaw, an AI agent with system-level access.

  • The Department of Defense announced Cybercom 2.0, a new model for preparing cyber forces.

As the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics begin, the athletes aren’t the only ones in action, with cybersecurity teams already fending off attempts to disrupt Olympic-related systems.
