The ability of the Islamic Republic of Iran to carry out cyber operations is an example of the order of the Supreme Leader in the approach of threats against threats. The most valuable asset of the country's cyber operations is its human resources, which plays a decisive role in the success of cyber operations. Employing, maintaining and promoting suitable human resources committed to the institutional values ​​of the Islamic Revolution is a guarantee of progress in the field of cyber operations. In the current research, the indigenous model of cyber operations human resources, exploratory, with a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) and using the research method of content and rational analysis, through in-depth interviews with 9 commanders and managers of the strategic and operational levels of the research field and Questionnaires were presented to 62 cyber operations experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Based on this, three concepts of skill, ability, beliefs and values ​​were identified as the main dimensions of the model, and then the components of each of these dimensions were extracted and the indicators of each component were determined. After the statistical analysis of the results of the questionnaire, the indigenous model of cyber operation human resources was presented in three dimensions, seven components and thirty five indicators.

Dependence of humans on information technology has emerged a new form of war called cyber war. In the era of information and communication, cyber weapons are considered as the main pillars of cyber war and strategic issues of governments. The ability to produce, develop and use these weapons will increase the defense power of the nations in the cyber space and consequently in national power. The possibility of using cyber weapons against the important infrastructure has caused the masters of the defense field enter to this new field by using the latest technological achievements and realize the cyber deterrence increasingly. In this mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) and content analysis method research, related literature was studied and cyber weapons at a strategic level were investigated, meantime; 79 commanders, managers and experts in strategic, operational and tactical levels of cyber defense of the country have presented the conceptual model of cyber weapons in an exploratory manner. In this study, three concepts of efficiency, intelligence and anonymity of cyber weapons have been identified as strategic dimensions of the model through in-depth interview; and then dimensions, components and indicators have been determined. Finally, by data analysis the conceptual model of cyber weapons in three dimensions, nine components and forty-four indicators are presented.

Today, cyber defense strategy is prevalent in many leading countries. The basis of this type of defense is mastery of cyberspace and the ability to perform cyber operations. This ability in addition to creating a cyber deterrent, enabling countries to eliminate the threat before it becomes actual. Due to the intangibility of cyberspace and invisibility of the purpose of cyber operations, it is difficult to understand the success of the operation. Measuring this success requires evaluating cyber operations. By evaluating cyber operations, the performance and effectiveness of operations can be measured, weaknesses and strengths can be found, and steps can be taken to eliminate weaknesses and improve strengths. In order to carry out an accurate, comprehensive and scientific evaluation of cyber operations, a strategic model is needed. In this study, a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) has been used to provide a strategic model for evaluating cyber operations. In this regard, 70 questionnaires conducted among commanders, managers and experts at the strategic, operational and tactical levels of the country's cyber operations. Based on the research and by using the opinion of experts, three concepts of “design evaluation”, “combat preparedness evaluation” and “performance evaluation” were identified as the basic dimensions of cyber operations evaluation. Then, the components of each of these dimensions were extracted and the indicators of them were determined. Finally, a strategic model for evaluating cyber operations in three dimensions, ten components and seventy-three indicators is presented after statistical analysis of the results of the questionnaires.
