Abstract

In addition to software and hardware components, media assets include physical and infrastructure assets and assets. Therefore, in order to deal with threats against these assets and reduce vulnerability, it is necessary to develop strategies to protect these infrastructures with a passive defense approach, which has been proposed as the main goal in this study. The present study is descriptive-analytical and data collection through Internet, library and field methods and the main method of data analysis is SWOT method and also Cronbach's alpha coefficient and statistical tests have been used to measure the questionnaires. In this study, after reviewing upstream documents and obtaining expert opinions, 92 environmental factors affecting the protection of this infrastructure have been identified and evaluated in SPSS software. Then 21 strategies were developed based on the strategy formulation model of the Higher National Defense University. According to experts, one of the priority strategies can be planned to increase the deterrent capability in cyber threats, scientific, research and training development of the required manpower using the existing capacities in the country to increase relevant specialized knowledge, hedge, strengthen national media infrastructure against severe threats. Using local experts, increasing material and moral support of knowledge-based companies active in the field of development projects in the field of satellites related to national media, localization and application of artificial intelligence knowledge to establish a monitoring system and cyber attacks and help protect national media infrastructure in Against threats, purchasing and reverse engineering, he cited examples of advanced software systems in the field of national media.
