Understand Your Adversary's Motivations
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran's elite military faction, poses a significant cyber threat driven by political motivations, particularly in response to actions taken by former President Trump. These include the withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, the reimposition of stringent sanctions, and the targeted assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, a key figure within the IRGC. These events catalyze the IRGC's efforts to undermine a Trump presidency, showcasing how military entities may leverage hacking as a means of retaliation and influence.
