In this episode of SECURITY.COM The Podcast, Dan Mellinger welcomes back threat intelligence veteran Dick O’Brien to unpack the evolving cyber threats coming out of Iran—and why defenders should be paying close attention.
Here are the highlights
Dan and Dick dive into:
- How Iran punches above its weight in cyberspace—and where they rank among global threat actors.
- Why the real risk isn’t what Iranian operators have accessed, but what they plan to do with it next.
- Disk-wiping malware, sabotage-style attacks, and what defenders can learn from the recent Stryker attack.
- How Iranian operators are rapidly evolving by adapting Russian cyber tactics.
- Why federal agencies aren’t the only targets, and what every organization can do to prepare.
