Abstract

In recent years, the rapid development of knowledge-based companies and the need to pay attention to all kinds of threats in these organizations are considered as the most important challenges in their development. The continued life of these organizations depends on the principle of leveling various types of threats in organizations. The main goal of the research is the leveling of various threats in cyber security and defense of knowledge-based organizations. The research method was descriptive-survey based on the applied purpose, descriptive-survey based on the data collection method, and quantitative based on the type of data. The statistical population of this research is the experts and professors of information technology and…, Islamic Azad University, Tehran South branch (200 people), the samples were selected using random sampling, data analysis and research hypotheses were done with SPSS(23) software. In the inferential statistics section, Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests were used to check the normality of the data, and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the impact and significance of the relationships between variables. All the data are normal, and there is a significant relationship between the research factors and components. The results of data analysis showed that of the four existing hypotheses, the first, second, and third hypotheses were confirmed and the fourth hypothesis was not confirmed. Then the research components were ranked, other results showed that the research variables do not have the same priority, there is a significant difference between them. In terms of leveling, there is a significant difference between the variables. It was found that the research variables have different levels in different research levels.
