FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Cyberwarfare
While global corporations have been targeted by Iran-linked threat actors, the escalating tensions in recent weeks will inevitably bring more repercussions as tools and tactics change with new strategic goals.
Against the ongoing backdrop of cyber conflict between nation states and escalating warnings from the Department of Homeland Security, critical infrastructure is becoming a central target for threat actors.

The lifting of certain sanctions may provide an alternative incentive to limit certain types of cyberwar activity.
