Companies are now on the front lines of war. They need to act like it

In a significant escalation of regional tensions, Iranian drones successfully targeted and struck several data centers operated by U.S. companies in the Persian Gulf. The strikes caused substantial physical damage and operational downtime, highlighting a shift from cyber-focused aggression to kinetic attacks on private sector infrastructure. Security experts emphasize that this incident marks a turning point where corporations must treat their facilities as potential military targets. The U.S. government is currently assessing the damage and considering response options, while corporate security chiefs are being urged to immediately review and harden physical security protocols for critical assets in high-risk zones.
