Here's everything you need to know about the Iranian cyber warfare threat following military escalation after the death of Qassem Soleimani:
Then in December 2018,
the U.S. launched a successful cyberattack against Iranian air defence sites and command and control.Following Qassem Soleimani’s killing, cyber will “almost certainly” play a part in the wider response that Iran will unleash on the U.S. and its allies, says Ingram. Javvad Malik, security awareness advocate at KnowBe4 predicts that other players across the world could also take advantage of the scenario to launch their own attacks “and try to attribute them to Iran in order to muddy the waters.”
Vince Warrington, CEO, Protective Intelligence predicts that Iran could target U.S. and British interests in the Middle East, “especially those companies with links to Saudi Arabia.” However: “Russia and China are Tier 1 cyber aggressors and very close behind them comes Iran, then North Korea. It is often difficult to distinguish between different countries in cyber terms as they probably use proxies in each other’s countries to mask the true originator. The U.S., U.K. and Israel are probably the West’s Tier 1 countries with sophisticated capabilities from both a defensive and offensive perspective.
“This alliance could escalate nation-state proxy conflicts; the prospect of an all-out cyber war involving the world’s major players is no longer a distant fiction.”The threat is real, but even so, there is no scenario where Iran wins, says Thornton-Trump. “The U.S. and its partners have access to the transatlantic cables and ‘relationships’ with most of the global providers, which in the event of a national or international cyberattack could remove Iran from the Internet.
