Find opportunities — and win them.

David DiMolfetta, our Nextgov/FCW colleague who covers all things cyber, jumps in to explain how U.S. government agencies are monitoring Iran’s cyber activities and why a major intrusion into telecommunications networks keeps getting worse.

Iran is known to be one of the world’s major nation-state actors in cyberspace and that fact has returned to the forefront since its war with Israel started on June 13.

David DiMolfetta, who covers cyber for our partner publication Nextgov/FCW, joins for this episode to break down how Iran typically operates in cyber and what U.S. government agencies are watching out for as the conflict continues.

The defense industrial base is also on notice for potential intrusions on their systems, as David explains to our Ross Wilkers.

David also provides an update on what we are learning about the breach into U.S. telecommunications networks, which was carried out by the Chinese hacking group known as Salt Typhoon but discovered two years after it started.
