Iran has developed its own antivirus software after a development programme dating back to 2010. The country recently claimed that it no longer wanted to use foreign-developed programs, preferring to use only local software developers. The motivation behind such an approach is obvious, starting with the major Stuxnet attack uncovered in 2010 which is believed to have caused severe disruption to the country’s nuclear enrichment plans. In other areas Iran is as dependant on mainstream software as everyone else – the country still has sizable installations of Windows 2000 in embedded systems.”]
