Iran announced a plan to strengthen cybersecurity
The hacking of road cameras and mobile communication systems in Tehran, the capital of Iran, has become a major problem for the country. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The active operations of Israeli and US intelligence forced Iran to reconsider its cyber defense system. Experts from Zamin.uz are analyzing the new cyber defense plan.
After intelligence data was leaked, the Iranian government began to fully isolate the digital infrastructure around strategic facilities. Among the expected changes is "abandoning Western technology."
The Iranian cybersecurity service has started replacing Western countries' technologies at military facilities. Instead, local software or technologies from China and Russia are expected to be used.
The hacking of road surveillance cameras showed that connecting them to the global network was a mistake. From now on, surveillance systems and military communication devices will be disconnected from the general internet and will operate only on an internal network.
IT staff in government agencies will undergo re-examination, and the fight against internal espionage will be intensified. The hacking of mobile communication towers prompted Iran to create special military communication channels operating via satellite.
According to political analysts, Tehran now aims to be active not only in missile technology but also in the cyber arms race. In an era of advancing technologies, ensuring 100 percent protection is difficult.
In your opinion, what is the best way to protect state secrets in the digital age: high-tech security or the "pen and paper" method?
