Today, cyber threats to industrial control systems, which are increasingly used in critical infrastructures, are more complex than can be easily dealt with. The security of these systems has become one of the most urgent concerns of all industrial players, including governments.Based on this, presenting a strategic model for the secure use of industrial control systems in critical infrastructures, which is the goal of this research, is essential.In this research, by referring to the directional elements of the cyber field, the country's upstream documents, documents and strategic measures of other countries, examining domestic and international models and plans and with expert analysis, designed a conceptual model and extracted researched the dimensions, components and indicators and then designed a researcher-made questionnaire based on interviews with experts and documents to answer the research questions.The results of this research show that the strategic pattern of secure use has 3 dimensions, 12 components and 67 sub-components, which are the most important components in the process dimension, in order of priority, structures and systems, policy , rules and regulations, use and administration. The technology dimension is security organization, preventive measures, incident analysis and management, diagnostic measures and recovery measures, and the human resources dimension is capacity building and human resource management

Terrorism has taken different forms over time; however, the international legal community fails to keep up with these modern forms of terrorism and always falls a few steps behind. Since the critical infrastructure includes the most essential services for life in a country, attacks on this infrastructure cause widespread and sometimes irreversible damage so that the targeted state will have to comply with the demands of terrorist groups. Although there are important documents regarding counterterrorism in airlines, marine navigation, nuclear power, and hostage holding in the international law, the literature evidently lacks a fundamental document regarding countermeasures to terrorist attacks on the critical infrastructure of a country to cover both cyberattacks and physical attacks. Hence, in addition to addressing the problem of critical infrastructure and counterterrorism documents, this paper seeks to answer the main question: what international law rules over countermeasures to physical terrorist attacks on the critical infrastructure of a country? For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical technique was employed with the desk method. According to the results, there is a legal gap in the international law in response to physical terrorist attacks on the critical infrastructure of countries. Finally, it is recommended that an international convention be formulated and approved to counter such terrorist attacks.
