Nation-State Cyber Threats Are Now Targeting Businesses: Expert Insights from Cybersecurity veteran Sandeep Dommari

JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2025 / With global connectivity accelerating at an unprecedented pace, the cyber battlefield has expanded far beyond military and intelligence networks to include all types of organizations, ranging from multinational companies to small start-ups. Hospitals, banks, pharmaceutical, automotive, supply chains, aviation, utilities, retailers, and many more industries and start-ups are now facing sophisticated cyber operations from nation-states, targeting economies and disrupting company services and operations. Corporations now stand at the front lines of a conflict they never signed up for.

The organizations that survive these attacks aren't just good at IT hygiene or having antivirus software. They understand the geopolitical nature of modern threats and treat cybersecurity as a strategic asset, not just an operational one.

Sandeep Dommari, Principal Architect at Mican Technologies Inc. and a distinguished senior member of IEEE and American Association for the Advancement of Science, draws from over 18 years of experience designing robust cybersecurity frameworks. His work has played a critical role in defending enterprises against Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and bolstering large-scale incident response capabilities. He has architected and deployed security controls that address compliance and risk management requirements across global organizations.

He is passionate about fostering innovation and recognizing impactful security solutions. He has engineered cybersecurity processes such as anomaly and threat detection and customer experience streamlining, enhanced security, and ensured compliance with SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, and other global regulations.

"Nation-state attackers don't need to breach the government to disrupt a nation, they target the companies and critical services that drive its economy," says Dommari.

Traditionally focused on espionage and surveillance, state-sponsored cyber campaigns have evolved into more aggressive operations Ransomware attacks on hospitals, supply chain hijacking, and targeted phishing campaigns have become increasingly common in recent years. Vulnerable sectors, particularly small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), often serve as entry points into larger digital ecosystems, posing a threat to national security as well.

Dommari cautions that conventional cybersecurity tools such as firewalls, antivirus software, and patching are no longer sufficient. "When cyber threats are dismissed as mere IT issues, Businesses often overlook the broader implications of their actions, including those related to national security. Every organization has a stake in this defense," he states.

To counteract these escalating threats, Dommari advocates for a proactive, layered security strategy that includes:

  • Zero Trust Architecture: Assuming no inherent trust and continuously validating users and devices.

  • Threat Intelligence Integration: Using real-time data to detect and mitigate emerging risks.

  • Employee Awareness Training: Strengthening defenses against social engineering and phishing.

  • Incident Response Planning: Implementing and routinely testing comprehensive response protocols.

  • Public-Private Partnerships: Encouraging collaboration among businesses, government, and cybersecurity communities to enhance collective defense.

"Cybersecurity today is not just a technical concern, it's a business imperative. It safeguards not only systems but also customer trust, brand reputation, and long-term viability," Dommari concludes. Businesses that integrate cybersecurity into their core strategy will thrive in the digital age. Organizations that do not adopt cybersecurity will struggle to survive in the digital age.

"Cybersecurity is no longer just about compliance," Dommari says. "It's about survival. It's about trust. It's also about guiding the business in a world where cyber warfare affects everyone.
