Cyber security is one of the main areas of comprehensive security approaches that attract global attention. The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a key actor in the Middle East with nuclear capacity, is also targeted in cyber-espionage attacks. In this chapter the cyber wellness profile of the Islamic Republic of Iran is evaluated in terms of a comprehensive cyber security strategy, responsible agencies, cyber security awareness, and international cooperation.
