Cyber Operators Evolve Strategy As Operation Epic Fury Continues

US Cyber Command has played a key role in the US military operation against Iran, with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine highlighting the command’s efforts in disrupting and degrading Iran’s ability to communicate and respond. The operation, known as Epic Fury, is expected to continue for several weeks, with cyber operators potentially transitioning to an intelligence-gathering mode. The Pentagon has not disclosed details of CYBERCOM’s role due to operational security concerns, but former officials and cyber operators suggest that the command’s efforts will be crucial in supporting the military campaign. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
