Abstract

Objective: The main goal of this research is to achieve the maturity pattern of cyber resilience of command and control systems in dealing with future threats.
Methodology: The current research is prospective and applied, and descriptive/analytical with an exploratory approach. The statistical population of the research includes 30 military and cyber experts, and the sample population is considered equal to the statistical population. In order to collect data, interview tools and questionnaires were used, and data analysis was done by factor load analysis using SmartPLS software, and to confirm the model, a significant test was used. The presence of components was used.
Findings: in the final model, for the dimensions of leadership, supervision and operation, there are 10 components in maturity level one, 12 components in maturity level two, 12 components in maturity level three, 9 components in maturity level four and 6 components for the fifth maturity level, and a total of 49 components were calculated and presented.
Conclusion: The cyber maturity model is a method that enables organizations to strengthen their cyber security program, prioritize cyber security actions and investments, and maintain the desired level of security throughout the life cycle of information technology systems. Based on this, in order to reach the maturity of cyber resilience, the three dimensions of leadership, monitoring and control and operation of command and control systems at 5 levels (performed, planned, managed, measured and institutionalized) should be matured.
