Abstract

The spread of attacks and various threats in the cyber space in data-oriented and knowledge-based organizations has caused attention to the issue of cyber security and defense in knowledge-based organizations as very important and strategic issue. This issue requires the explanation of comprehensive roadmap to achieve the goals through the optimal performance of the organization's main processes. The present research deals with the structured analysis of the safety index in security and cyber defense of knowledge-based organizations.After determining the sub-indicators and main influencing factors using scientific methods (Delphi method),their importance was determined by experts. Effective components are combination of security and cyber defense components.The existence of various threats and conditions in the country caused three knowledge-based organizations, "Islamic Azad University,South Tehran Branch, University Research Sciences Unit,and University of Tehran, which they are important in terms of strategic and cyber issues, to be studied. The importance of the influencing factors With the opinions of determined experts, the geometric mean was obtained, and after weighting the components, all values were normalized, using the evolutionary algorithm of Prometheus as one of the new decision-making methods,intra-group comparison of the components was carried out, and then the priority It was done based on the type of intergroup security and cyber defense components. The organizations were ranked based on priority and the amount of points and it was decided to increase the level of security and cyber defense within the organization in accordance with the strategic principles to achieve maximum security and efficiency of the system.
