but none have been successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Last year we neutralized 33 million attacks with the [national]&nbsp;firewall,\u201d the ICT minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, US news outlets cited unnamed sources to report that President Donald Trump had approved an offensive cyber strike aimed at disabling Iranian computer systems used to control rocket and missile launches.&nbsp;The attacks came shortly after the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that its Aerospace Forces used&nbsp;an indigenous Khordad 3 surface-to-air missile system to shoot down a US Navy RQ-4A global Hawk drone moments after it entered Iranian airspace in the Persian Gulf region to gather intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with the push to fend off cyber violations, Iran\u2019s ICT Ministry unveiled a cybersecurity project codenamed Digital Fortress (Dejfa in Persian) in May to shield the country from increasing cyber threats targeting Iran\u2019s infrastructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Digital Fortress aims to protect citizens\u2019 privacy, deter the cyberattacks on infrastructure, help sustain digital services, combat data breaches and online fraud, as well as detect malware in the network and stop its spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jahromi, the fortress will also help Iran prevent denial-of-service strikes and protect the country\u2019s industrial infrastructure against cyber espionage and sabotage attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN, Jun. 24 (Payantitr News Agency) \u2013 Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi said on Monday that the country&#8217;s security shields have been able to neutralize&hellip;
