Today, cyberspace has emerged as a novel domain in defense and security arenas. In Iran, following global trends, cyberspace is officially recognized as a domain akin to land, sea, air, and space, for which operational and strategic organizations are designated. In such a domain, the simultaneous expansion of heterogeneous network connections and diverse organizational services has increased vulnerabilities and security threats in cyberspace. The present study aims to propose a framework for classifying threats and opportunities in cyberspace. This research is developmental-applied in nature, based on the objectives and type of investigation, and employs a mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population comprises 140 university experts, cyberspace specialists, and strategic and operational commanders of the armed forces. Data collection was conducted using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The validity of the study was confirmed, and reliability was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha (0.95). Findings indicate that cyberspace threats and opportunities can be classified into three layers: cognitive, informational, and physical.
