Summary

This week, pro-Iranian hackers claimed responsibility for a devastating cyberattack against U.S. medical device company Stryker. They have also targeted data centers and industrial facilities in both the United States and Israel. As the war with Iran continues, experts are expecting an increase in such cyber-attacks in an effort to degrade the war effort, strain cyber security efforts and cause as much damage to American companies, and the economy as possible. FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Michael Crean, Senior Vice President of Managed Services at SonicWall, a comprehensive, AI-driven cybersecurity solutions company that specializes in next-generation firewalls and cloud security, who says the goal is to wear down the war effort and hit Americans at home.
