The newly announced US-Iran ceasefire introduces a major paradigm shift in the global cyber warfare landscape.

Both nations are expected to redirect their cyber capabilities to maintain strategic persistence without triggering overt conflict. Organizations should recalibrate their threat models to prioritize detection of stealthy persistence mechanisms and supply chain risks over immediate destructive attacks.
