Abstract

Deterrence is one of the key discussions in the coutery’s security and defence. Hence, the promotion and development of strategic literature on deterrence and in particular on cybersecurity and cyberdefence in order to exploit responsible institutions for formulating and implementing cyberspace policies is one of the most important and urgent issues. Creating a valid deterrence power plays key role in cyber defence, to achieve this, the public, private and governmental institutions needed to carry out the main missions coordinately. In this research, based on Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) method, we intend to identify effective institutions on the process of creating the deterrence power and the prevention of threats and cyber attacks in the cyber defense system and examin which institutions at what level will take effecte from other institutions.
Finally, the results of the research show that all 14 cybersecurity organizations are effective on the process of creating deterrent power and preventing threats and cyber attacks, and are needed to achieve deterrence goals. In the second step, considering the effect of institutions on each other, based on the input and output of each entity, the level of influence of each entity is determined. Higher-level institutions have more influence over other institutions and have higher decision-making power and lower-level institutions are more dependent on other institutions.
