Rising Cyber Tensions Push Greek Firms to Bolster Digital Defenses

 

Greek companies are intensifying cybersecurity checks as the Iran conflict heightens the risk of digital attacks. According to recent reports, Greece’s National Cybersecurity Authority issued a high‑priority advisory urging critical sectors—including shipping, banking, telecommunications, healthcare, and energy—to scan their systems for potential threats. 

The move follows a series of international cyber incidents attributed to Iran‑linked groups. Greek shipowners and major businesses have already begun reviewing their networks for suspicious activity after warnings that the geopolitical situation could trigger retaliatory cyber operations.

Authorities describe the measures as precautionary but necessary, given the rising global cyber threat landscape. An Iranian‑linked hacking group recently claimed responsibility for an attack on a U.S. medical device provider, underscoring the broader risks associated with the conflict.
