The Fight Comes to Our Shores: Breaking Down the Cyber Attack on Stryker

On Wednesday, March 11, a pro-Iran regime hacking group claimed to have wiped 200,000 devices of a major U.S. medical device manufacturer. Press reports indicate that operations at the company, Stryker, have been affected. While there have been ongoing pro-Iranian cyber operations in the Middle East since Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran at the end of February, this is the first significant domestic incident. What do we know about what happened, and who carried out this destructive attack? What are the potential motivations behind the targeting? How does it compare to past cyber operations? And how should policymakers and critical infrastructure operators respond? On March 13, the Institute for Security and Technology hosted friends and adjunct advisors for a webinar to break down this attack on the U.S. homeland and its implications.
