Ep 2. FBI Advisory, Iranian Threats & Resilience

The FBI, NSA, and CISA just issued a warning about Iranian state-backed actors, including the notorious Cyber Avengers, targeting US networks—especially OT, IoT, water, and aviation systems. These groups aren’t hacktivists—they’re highly skilled, sanctioned members of the IRGC.

Key takeaways:

• Now is the time to test and validate resilience against known Iranian APTs.
• Don’t overlook Russian groups like Turla, which often piggyback on Iranian attacks.
• Continuous simulation of these attacks helps close gaps before they’re exploited.
• SafeBreach customers can leverage 17 Iranian threat actor playbooks and 11 actionable advisories to validate defenses.

Stay proactive: run simulations, remediate vulnerabilities, and lock the stable door before the horse bolts.
