Sophos

Sophos enters the wiki through Iran’s cyberwar on American banks, where Rafe Pilling represents the company in a Marketplace Tech discussion of Iran-linked cyber threats. The episode uses Pilling’s commentary to explain how distributed denial-of-service attacks disrupted U.S. bank websites from 2011 to 2013.

In this source, Sophos is part of the cybersecurity-analysis layer rather than the target layer. Its contribution is to connect Banking DDoS Resilience with newer Iran-Linked Cyber Operations, including phishing, vulnerability scanning, data theft, leak campaigns, and Industrial Control System Cyber Risk.
