Risky Bulletin: Cyber Command conducted cyberattacks ahead of Iran strikes

The Pentagon disclosed that US Cyber Command conducted cyber operations to disrupt Iranian defense systems ahead of a joint US-Israeli military strike. According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, these non-kinetic cyber and space operations degraded Iran's communications and sensor networks, limiting their ability to coordinate and respond to the incoming strike.

Why it matters: Defense contractors and government agencies managing critical military infrastructure should understand how cyber operations are integrated into modern military campaigns and assess their own operational resilience in contested environments.
