The drone attack as Suleimani was visiting Baghdad last week is widely expected to prompt counterattacks of some sort from Iran, with Iranian leaders vowing as much in recent days. One of the most rapid ways that Iran can respond is through attacks on computer systems of U.S. businesses and government agencies

The U.S. agency in charge of cybersecurity urges organizations in the United States to prepare for potential attacks from Iran in response to the American drone killing of General Qassim Suleimani.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued its warning, “Potential for Iranian Cyber Response to U.S. Military Strike in Baghdad,” on Monday afternoon. CISA is a federal agency created in 2018 to coordinate with other government entities and the private sector on cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection.

The drone attack as Suleimani was visiting Baghdad last week is widely expected to prompt counterattacks of some sort from Iran, with Iranian leaders vowing as much in recent days. One of the most rapid ways that Iran can respond is through attacks on computer systems of U.S. businesses and government agencies. However, proxy attack on perceived USA allies, or major USA technology firms also have to be considered.

A key feature in your defence is the way your anti malware software handles unknown files. All Ransomware/Malware starts as an unknown file. Older protection software uses a detect and remediate approach to stop it. Basically, a default ‘allow’ policy, because they let unknown files come into their system and then try to stop the effect. This is a problem because hackers make new malicious codes every single day, and rely on signature based detection methods.

We offer a solution with a default ‘Deny’ approach. Our auto-containment features is a patented and the one-and-only technology that renders malware useless and to date the Platform and Auto Containment.
