Hello, good morning.

Yes, we are seeing increased activity in scanning, what we call reconnaissance in cyber, of different cyber actors and cyber groups.

Some of them are activists, just want to make noise or denial of service.

But we're still seeing some of those APTs trying to get access mainly to critical infrastructure.

It's a good question.

Look, actually, they are very under pressure.

Look, this is the first time Iran ever launched a missile on a European country like Cyprus.

So they are all out.

They are using all their existing arsenals.

They are using a lot of AI to enable the volume.

But I don't see any more sophistication that we have seen before.

Just big, big volume.

They are all in, all out.

And I do believe that this time also, since even the cyber groups in Iran are kind of under pressure, like there are being attacks on those places as well.

So I do think we should be more proactive, not reactive, and make sure at least we have protection in place against the known tools and techniques that they are using during the last two years.

Yeah, for sure.

Cyber is a part of Iranian regime's doctrine for defense and offense.

And there are at least three different entities in Iran that are actively claiming and engaged with cyber offensive activities.

One of them is Ministry of Defense.

The other one is Ministry of Intelligence.
