Ms Williams said that criminals may be preparing sophisticated electronic attacks on athlete protection arrangements, the transport infrastructure, sponsorship(赞助) deals and ticketing.
She added: “These are all potentially subject to abuses and we need to understand these and put plans in place quickly.”
Ms Williams warned that cyber criminals were determined, sophisticated and flourishing.
The conference heard that three million online crimes take place in Britain every year, about one every 10 seconds.
Ms Williams said that in recent months criminal networks had targeted London hospitals, police forces and major private companies, including well-known online shops.
She said: “Very recently we have had three London hospitals badly affected — that was identified as computer viruses overloading the systems.
“We have had police forces who have lost considerable parts of their capability for considerable periods of time and we have had attacks that have stopped other public services.”
