mahdi omrani, Masoud Shafiee, Siavash Khorsandi · 2023
Cyberspace is one of the important components of countries' national security, and the evaluation of the security of this space will identify the strengths and weaknesses of systems and networks. Using the results of the evaluations, countries can adopt the necessary strategies to improve cyber security. Considering the inefficiency and weakness of global and regional models for measuring Iran's cyber security maturity, the present research was conducted to obtain a national cyber security maturity measurement model with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) and content analysis method. Further, after receiving experts' opinions about the importance and degree of influence of the components on each other, ten key components of cyber security were selected using the method of cross-effects analysis and Micmac software, and 30 criteria were used compiled to measure the key components. Finally, the level of maturity of Iran's cyber security has been determined based on the proposed maturity model, and the results of this model have been compared with other research models and its advantages have been stated.
