Members of the National Council of ISACs (NCI) have collaborated on this joint bulletin to raise awareness across the critical infrastructure community of this common threat to critical infrastructure and global business more generally.
The conflict in the Middle East has security implications for critical infrastructure sector owners and operators across the globe. One potential threat is increased cyberattacks from Iranian state-sponsored actors, hacktivists, and cybercriminal groups aligned with Iran. Since Iran has launched cyberattacks during similar times of conflict, organizations should be prepared for the possibility of increased attacks. Additionally, there is a potential for physical attacks, which could be committed by homegrown violent extremists (HVEs) and include targets like public spaces and critical infrastructure entities.
Please note that any ISAC’s participation in this advisory is not an indication that the ISAC or its individual members are experiencing increased threat actor activity.
Health-ISAC Annual Report 2025 shows surge in threat intel and tabletop drills, putting resilience in focus
As cyber and physical threats continue to disrupt healthcare delivery worldwide, the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC) is marking its fifteenth year by doubling down on sector-wide resilience. In its newly released Annual Report 2025, the organization details expanded global threat intelligence operations, including round-the-clock ‘follow-the-sun’ coverage with new analysts in Asia-Pacific, and broader international collaboration, such as the onboarding of 90% of Belgium’s public hospitals.
The Health-ISAC also launched a new Member Tabletop Exercise program, delivering customized simulations designed to help healthcare organizations identify and close operational gaps before adversaries can exploit them.
“The 2025 report showcases how much we have cultivated over the past year to ensure global resilience,” Denise Anderson, Health-ISAC president and CEO, said in a media statement. “Just as circle irrigation revolutionized farming by efficiently nourishing crops, Health-ISAC fosters a thriving community dedicated to protecting the health sector. Our expansion in APAC and our efforts in taking down threat actor infrastructure are just a few examples of our community’s success in 2025.”
