Abstract
Cyber threats are a new phenomenon that has spread with the evolution of new technologies in the world. Although cyber warfare has not actually taken place yet, but daily cyber attacks indicate a terrible prospect of future cyber warfare. With the increasing development of this field and the dependence of the armed forces of countries on this technology, it can be concluded that the wars of the coming decades will be cyber warfare, and this article seeks to answer the question of what are the new cyber threats against the armed forces and what are the solutions? In response to this question, in order to train, improve the security, safety and stability of the vital infrastructure of the Armed Forces in the face of possible cyber threats of the enemy, effective measures have been taken at the level of the Armed Forces organizations. Therefore, it can be said that information and cyberspace, as much as it can create a lot of opportunities for the armed forces of our country, can also create great threats for this sector. Accordingly, increasing the capability of the armed forces, improving cyber skills, training elite forces, recognizing new cyber threats and their challenges in future cyber information wars, to deal with security threats, is the most important way to protect national interests and vital infrastructure in cyberspace. The success of the defense strategy should be recognized as a weapon for military commanders and defense and military experts of the country.
