Information Communication Technology (ICT) has become a core part of every organization. Any disruption in ICT’s main infrastructure may have severe impacts and lead to huge losses. Governmental and military institutions’ facilities, networks, and infrastructure are no exception. Defending the ICT military and public installations and infrastructure is vital in both times of peace and war. This study proposes a decision model using the appropriate criteria and fuzzy multiple criteria decision making to select the right action after a cyber-attack. The results show that the fuzzy multiple criteria model constructed in this study could indeed mitigate the inadequacies and uncertainties surrounding the decision to retaliate after a cyber-attack.
