Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said during a ceremony held to unveil the IRGC Navy’s (IRGCN) information technology systems, “Today, the enemy is ready to pay billions to get the slightest bit of information… Information security is considered the main key for the IRGC and must be considered as a priority… Today our cyber forces have easily gained access to the enemy’s most secret information, and cyber war has effectively increased its capability. We should constantly self-evaluate and compare ourselves in various fields with what we can. Then, we should improve our strong points and remove weaknesses.” Fadavi stressed the importance of security and information protection and said that if the systems lack the required security, the enemies could easily use the information provided on the Navy systems. He referred to the increased activities of “enemies” in the virtual world and the launch of satellite channels. He added, “The anti-revolution (countries) have considerably increased their Persian language (satellite) channels. Considering the process we are witnessing, we should employ our experts and enter these fields with more courage and determination.”
