US launches cyberattacks against Iran's weapon systems

THE US LAUNCHED a series of cyberattacks against Iran last week in an attempt to disable computer systems controlling the country's rocket and missile launchers.

The attacks were carried out with the approval of President Trump, according to Associated Press, and followed a series of alleged cyber-incursions by Iran against US infrastructure.

Christopher Krebs, director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, claimed in a statement that there had been a "recent rise in malicious cyber activity directed at United States industries and government agencies by Iranian regime actors and proxies".

The increased cyber activity follows on from the shooting down of a US surveillance drone last week, as well as attacks on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf earlier this month, which the US claims were masterminded from Iran.

Following the shooting down of the drone, President Trump ordered air strikes on Iran, but backed down at the eleventh hour, saying that such an action would not be "proportionate". Trump also pledged to impose new sanctions on the country.

According to Associated Press, two government officials claimed that the latest Cyber-attacks by US Cyber Command targeted the computer systems of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The officials claimed that the systems controlling missile launchers were disabled following the attacks.

However, there have been no independent reports to confirm this. Iran is also yet to officially respond to the US Cyber-attacks.

It is not the first time that Iran has been targeted by cyber-attacks by US authorities. In the late 2000s, Iran disconnected most of its infrastructure from the internet after the Stuxnet attack, which disrupted thousands of Iranian centrifuges. Those attacks were thought to be a joint operation of US and Israeli agencies, and continued well into the current decade in new forms.

In 2016, some reports also claimed that US was working on "Nitro Zeus" plan and could use it against Iran's infrastructure in future.

Tensions between Iran and the US have escalated since last year when President Trump pulled his country out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. The US also imposed a series of new sanctions and economic restrictions on the country earlier this year.

Earlier this month, the US accused Iran of targeting ships in the Gulf of Oman. While, Iran rejected those claims, it said it will no longer abide by some parts of the 2015 nuclear deal either.

In a statement released on Saturday, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned US industry that Iran is now targeting an increasing number of critical infrastructure sectors in the US, including oil and gas, as well as utilities.

According to cybersecurity firms FireEye and CrowdStrike, Iranian hackers have stepped up spear-phishing techniques - the first step in trying to gain a toehold on targeted networks.

Unatek's Director of Cyber Security Practice Testifies before the US Senate, Urges the US Senate to Re-enforce Small Business Support with Mandatory Set Aside

​​​WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Unatek's Director of Cyber Security Practice, Dr. Charles Iheagwara, a leading Cyber security expert and IT management executive has called on the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship to enact a legislation that mandates a certain percentage of all federal and state Cyber security contracts as set aside for small businesses.
Dr. Iheagwara was speaking on Monday at the Laurel Municipal Center before a US Senate Committee hearing on "The Role of Small Businesses in Strengthening Cyber Security Efforts in the United States."
Emphasizing the role small businesses play in protecting the US national infrastructures from Cyber attacks, Dr. Iheagwara said that as frontline problem solvers, small businesses provide the majority of new jobs and produce much of the creativity and innovation that fuels economic growth. The Largo-based executive added that while the government is emphasizing the role of small businesses in bolstering the nation's cyber security efforts, it should address the obstacles that prevent them from realizing their full potentials and increasing their contribution to the overall economic growth.
Dr. Iheagwara said companies such as Unatek will not be able to grow and step up to the plate to meet the Cyber security challenges facing the nation without funding, which is most easily obtained through government contracts. He said small businesses often lack the time and resources to compete with larger ones for cyber security contracts even though most of the innovation and creativity in the Cyber security sector has come from small businesses.
The talent pool that small businesses provide is "overwhelming," Iheagwara said, referring to Maryland companies that have set standards for the rest of the industry, including two in Columbia: Sourcefire, which created Snort to prevent and detect network intruders, and Tenable Security, which created its Nessus vulnerability scanner. "Niche services is an area where small businesses have dominance," he said. "But it's good for us to recognize that growing new ideas takes money."
He encouraged the committee to consider mandating a certain percentage of all federal and state cybersecurity contracts be set aside for small businesses.
Unatek, Inc. a 15-year-old company and Cyber security services provider to several federal and state government agencies was named Homeland Security Company of the Year at the Maryland state's Incubator of the Year awards program (http://thedailyrecord.com/2011/06/03/maryland-incubator-company-of-year…).
