TEHRAN (Tasnim) Irans Civil Defense Organization has planned several cyber drills to determine the weak points of the countrys major istitutions, such as the Central Bank, an official said.
Head of Irans Civil Defense Organization General Gholam Reza Jalali, speaking to Tasnim News Agency on Tuesday, said a series of specialized drills have been carried out in a number of key organizations, like the Central Bank, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting and a mobile phone operator to detect their vulnerabilities.

They had many weak points, and we gave them the necessary warnings to remove the weaknesses, he explained.

The Iranian official further pointed to the countrys high degree of preparedness to handle a range of contingencies, and said his organization has carried out plans to train people how to deal with nuclear threats in different provinces.
