Assessing Cybersecurity Threats in Sensitive Industrial Systems of Iran
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Sensitive industrial systems, such as those in Iran's energy, oil, gas, and nuclear sectors, are critical to national security and economic stability. These systems face escalating cybersecurity threats due to their strategic importance and increasing reliance on interconnected technologies, including Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of cybersecurity threats targeting Iran's sensitive industrial systems, emphasizing vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and mitigation strategies. By integrating qualitative and quantitative analyses, including case studies of past cyberattacks and novel threat modeling, this study proposes a tailored cybersecurity framework for Iran’s industrial infrastructure. The framework incorporates adaptive defense mechanisms, real-time threat intelligence, and region-specific governance policies to enhance resilience. The findings underscore the need for proactive risk management, international cooperation, and localized cybersecurity policies to safeguard Iran's critical infrastructure against evolving threats.
