This article tries to examine the role of intelligence services in announcing the initial warning of political crises, their intensification and resolution. This article argues that in this world, with the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of intelligence services, crisis forecasting and its likely consequences may not be available to policymakers, but the potential for intelligence services to help policymakers understand critical, uncertain and It is unpredictable because its complexity encompasses a wide range of possible outcomes. This research has been done with a qualitative approach and with a descriptive-analytical method and library study tools and concludes that the role of intelligence services in crisis management has evolved over different periods of time, especially with the emergence and expansion of the web world. And unforeseen events can be reflected in an intensified crisis through a fully networked world with catastrophic consequences, as well as trivial events. Hence, there is an urgent need for a new way of supporting the information system for policymakers in crisis.

Today, with the growth and development of information technology, the infrastructure and information systems of defense sectors are also built on the basis of information technology; In such a way that due to negligence and failure to take care of the network, the possibility of loss of information and assets will be imagined; In order to respond to incidents in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to set up a Ict response team in defense centers; So that the network can be controlled in a reliable platform and unauthorized attacks and intrusions can be detected and the response speed can be increased in the shortest possible time with optimal communication between components; On the other hand, maintaining hierarchy and agility and using real-time systems is one of the distinctions of this team compared to non-defensive teams; In this research, by relying on the library method, the required data was extracted, and with the opinion of experts in the field of cyber defense, questions were prepared and distributed among 65 experts of the target community; The results of this analysis using spss software were presented as research results and a coordinating model was proposed for the command center and a hybrid model (distributed and centralized) was proposed for the lower layers; Also, the manner of interactions, services, the amount of authority, the method of reporting, and the organizational chart were presented

the need for a cyber security maturity model of telecom operators will be inevitable. In this regard, Firstly, 350 indicators were extracted from about 100 theoretical literatures. Secondly, all components of 17 security maturity models like: C2M2, CySAFE, COBIT-IS, Forrester, etc were studied and 16 common components of those are ranked.The 350 extracted indicators were then mapped in the 16 components. About 40 indicators were not included in these components. So 5 new components (as innovation of proposed model), were added and the remaining 40 indicators located in those, as follows: Architecture and process, emerging technologies, stakeholder management, life cycle management, uncertainty.Thirdly, 4 widely used security maturity models in ICT businesses were selected. Then, component / indicators of the proposed maturity model were mapped on the 4 selected models to be sure the correspondence of each of the components/ indicators of the proposed model with 4 selected maturity models ones. In addition, by reviewing the theoretical literature and field and library studies, 4 dimensions include: human, process, technology, and data, and 5 maturity levels were selected for proposed model. Finally, a total of 4 dimensions, 18 components, 99 indicators, and 5 maturity levels were obtained as proposed model.
