IRGC-CEC, short for Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Cyber-Electronic Command, is an Iran-linked state cyber actor associated with operations against operational technology and critical infrastructure. It has been linked in public reporting to tradecraft overlapping with CyberAv3ngers and is assessed to focus on disruptive access to industrial environments rather than financially motivated intrusion activity. Reported activity includes targeting internet-exposed programmable logic controllers and other connected OT assets, manipulating PLC project files, and altering data presented through HMI and SCADA systems to disrupt operations or demonstrate access. The actor has been associated with campaigns affecting U.S. critical infrastructure, including the water sector. In these operations, the objective has been assessed as geopolitical signaling and leverage through demonstrated capability to interfere with essential services. Observed behavior indicates emphasis on native engineering software and direct interaction with industrial control components, consistent with reconnaissance and post-compromise manipulation in OT environments. High-confidence reporting supports characterization of IRGC-CEC as an Iranian state-directed threat actor engaged in cyber operations aligned with strategic and espionage-adjacent national objectives, with disruptive effects against civilian infrastructure.
