The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is an elite branch of Iran’s armed forces, established in 1979 to safeguard the country’s Islamic system. Beyond its military role, the IRGC wields significant political and economic influence within Iran. In the realm of cybersecurity, the IRGC is known for orchestrating cyber operations, including espionage, cyberattacks, and information warfare, often targeting foreign governments, critical infrastructure, and dissidents. The organization uses both direct cyber capabilities and proxy groups to advance Iran’s strategic interests and counter perceived threats. The IRGC’s cyber activities have led to international sanctions and designations as a terrorist organization by several countries.
