Abstract

Critical systems are today exposed to new kinds of security threats. Cyber security is determine with cyberspace safe from threats, it is called cyber-threats. Cyber-threats is applied the malicious use of information and communication technologies or the behaviour of attackers. Because of the importance of cyber threats, operating system (OS) selection is a critical decision that can significantly affect future competitiveness and performance of an organization. It is increasingly valuable in today’s current administration and businesses because of its ability to integrate the information. An operating system, especially with the weakness in security can lead to serious financial losses. The aim of this study is to develop a decision model based on Analitic Network Process (ANP)-choquet integral integration that select the appropriate operating system for critical computer systems by taking subjective judgments of decision makers into consideration. Proposed approach is based on ANP-choquet integral method. ANP method is used in determining the weights of the criteria by decision makers and then choquet integral is applied in rankings of the operating systems. Numerical study has also been demonstrated.
