Former NATO hacker Candan Bolukbas emphasizes that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel has no real impact in cyberspace, where attacks are relentless. He highlights that the US Cyber Command is prepared to preemptively strike any cyber threats. As the CTO of Black Kite, a cyber-risk intelligence firm, Bolukbas has significant experience in simulating cyber attacks to enhance defenses, including a notable operation on Ukraine's power grid. He expresses concern that Iran may retaliate against Israeli or American infrastructure through cyberattacks focused on supply chains, deemed vulnerable.
In the cyber world, there's no such thing as a ceasefire. If we see something that can disrupt us, we're going to attack it first.
I found 20 suppliers for a critical power grid in Kiev, picked one that was easiest to target, and accessed the grid control panel with one command.
I'm worried about one of Iran's cyber-arms doing something similar to Israel or American critical infrastructure in retaliation for the air strikes.
My belief is that they're going to go after the supply chain, because that's our weak spot.
