Kettle Unlike previous military conflicts, the cyber domain has been front and center since the Trump administration invaded Iran, upending the traditionally quiet role played by hackers in military conflicts.
Join us for our [1]first episode of the relaunched Kettle as host Brandon Vigliarolo discusses the US-Iran war, how it's affecting tech, the outsized role cyber operations are playing in Iran, and whether the tech industry will be affected by the conflict if it drags on.
The episode also touches on Anthropic and the Pentagon, whether CISA cuts mean the US is less safe if threat actors enact revenge for Iran, and more.
