Federal agencies are urging operators of critical infrastructure to immediately identify and disconnect vulnerable operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) in response to escalating cyber threats linked to Iran. The advisory follows growing concerns that Iran cyber threat spurs increased targeting of essential services, putting energy, water, and transportation sectors at heightened risk.

The agencies released a fact sheet emphasizing the need for proactive threat detection and swift mitigation. They advised asset owners to audit their networks, isolate exposed devices, and implement stronger access controls to defend against potential intrusions.

The Iran cyber threat spurs renewed calls for industry-wide vigilance as attackers continue to probe for weak points in legacy systems. Officials warned that failure to act could expose critical systems to severe disruptions or unauthorized access.
