To the Point: Iran’s Cyber Threat After Israel’s Strikes
Manage episode 489977791 series 3551151
As tensions explode between Israel and Iran, what cyber threats could hit the U.S. next? In this urgent episode of To the Point, host Frank Cilluffo sits down with Admiral (Ret.) Mark Montgomery—cybersecurity expert and longtime Solarium Commission leader—to assess the growing risk of Iranian cyberattacks on U.S. critical infrastructure.
With Iran and its proxies already escalating digital aggression against Israeli targets, Montgomery warns that water systems, energy grids, and transportation networks in the U.S. could soon face similar threats. The conversation explores:
The vulnerabilities across U.S. critical infrastructure
Iran’s evolving cyber and influence capabilities
Lessons from China’s Volt Typhoon campaign
The need for a renewed "shields up" posture from CISA
Why national cyber defense demands stronger National Guard and reserve roles
Montgomery and Cilluffo call for urgent action to harden defenses and rethink public-private coordination in light of this volatile moment on the global stage.
