The death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, and the announcement of the death of Hamas military wing commander Muhammad Daif on the same day is likely to escalate the ongoing cyberwar as Iran vows revenge. The dire humanitarian situation in Gaza will continue to fuel pro-Palestinian sentiment and inspire further hacktivist action, while the actors in the international arena are weighing their options. #Geopolitics #Cyfirmaresearch #ThreatIntelligence #cybersecurity #ETLM #currentaffairs #hacktivistism #ExternalThreatLandscapeManagement 

🇮🇩👩💻💪 Indonesia plans to establish a fourth military branch dedicated to cyber defense. The segment will add to an existing cyber unit that is already “highly dependent on the capability of human resources.” The framework for a new cybersecurity body will involve the integration of centers in each military branch and all primary armed forces headquarters. Recruits for the program will include civilians, with the majority to be sourced from high school and university graduates, according to the general. #military #army #defense #defence #indonesia #cyber #cybersecurity

🇮🇱 Israel’s Iron Dome defense system has long shielded it from incoming rockets. Now it is building a “cyber dome” to defend against online attacks, especially from arch foe Iran. #military #army #technology #militarytech #defensetech #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #israel #cyberdome #irondome #cyber #cybersecurity

India’s #Cyberwarfare Doctrine is released : India’s first joint doctrine for cyberspace operations, Cyberspace is a global good, with shared sovereignty, this joint doctrine will guide commanders in conducting cyberspace operations. This doctrine lays emphasis on understanding military aspects of cyberspace operations and provides conceptual guidance to commanders, staff and practitioners in the planning, and conduct of operations in cyberspace, as also to raise awareness in warfighters at all levels. My View: A very good move. Now let’s focus on my long standing demand to develop Cyber Cadets at our National Defence Academy we need cyber warriors overt and covert both. Let’s have CyberWar ranges in our non military educational institutions too. #cyberspace #cyberwar #cybersecurity #warfare #defence #defense #media #war #cyberterrorism #military #policy #publicpolicy #redteam #ccdcoe #UN #cycon #ethicalhackers #hacker #ceh #vapt #it #technology #grc #leadership #Cyberweapon #ILH #hague #MoD #ias #ips #CyberMonroeDoctrine #cyberawareness

Sweden has joined NATO. I think this is good for Sweden, for the Swedish Defence Forces, for Swedish defence industry and for Clavister. During service in the Swedish Army I have cooperated with NATO forces. This type of cooperation will become more common and as part of my civilian work at Clavister we contribute to make technical solutions for interoperability secure and reliable. Already today we deliver cybersecurity solutions for military platforms to multiple NATO nations and we will keep doing all we can to contribute to the alliance strong cybersecurity posture. #nato #cybersecurity
