Tensions in the Middle East are increasing, with Iran posing a significant cyber threat to U.S. critical national infrastructure. Cybersecurity experts highlight that the evolving conflict may lead to cyber attacks targeting vital systems.

Active defenses and resilience are essential, underscoring the shift in priorities in cybersecurity against potential adversarial actions.
