Since the Iran War began on February 28th, the SOCRadar threat team has tracked 1,357 incidents prominent in the first month that spanned 25+ countries, 15+ sectors, and 40+ distinct attack groups.
In a threat outlook published this morning, SOCRadar’s up-to-date assessment of the conflict reveals a significant pattern: the cyber dimension of this conflict has moved through distinct, recognizable phases, each with a different threat profile for organizations operating in targeted regions and sectors.
According to the analysis, the phases of the Iran war have so far included:
- Kinetic Shock & Cyber Reflection (Feb 28-Mar 6)
- Coalition Building & Geographic Expansion (Mar 7-16)
- Persistent Operations & Recon (Mar 16-31)
- Entrenchment & Escalation (Ongoing)
The analysis also covers a statistical breakdown of the most common attack types (DDoS by far the most prevalent), top targeted countries (Israel), and the top targeted sectors.
For a full breakdown on how the cyber aspect of this war has unfolded since its onset, including an in-depth analysis of each phase, you can find the analysis here: https://socradar.io/blog/iran-war-cyber-threat-outlook-conflict-phases/
