چکیده:
Industrial-economic infrastructure is one of the most important goals in hybrid warfare as well as terrorist attacks, which is aimed to weakening the resistance will in the society and the inability of governments to provide the necessary services and continuity of activities. Therefore, the implementation of passive defense projects and the protection of these centers are essential to reduce vulnerability and increase deterrence and national resilience to crises. Considering the importance of urban water infrastructure in the general order of society, The aim of this study is "risk analysis of urban water infrastructure against basic biological, cyber, military and security threats with passive defense approach". Accordingly, the main question is; "What is the risk analysis of the attack on urban water infrastructure with basic biological, cyber, military and security threats in water and sewage companies?" »Research is applied-developmental in terms of purpose and analytical-contextual in type. To answer in a combined way, library methods have been used to classify assets, Also, the expert meeting method has been used with the cooperation of 15experts and managers to score threats, vulnerabilities and complete the tables of risk assessment and analysis. The results show that the highest risk factor of main water supply infrastructure in biological attack on wells and water production resources with a risk factor of 630. the highest risk factor in the main functions of water supply was assigned to: The biological attack on the function of water supply services with a risk factor of 800.

Vulnerability Analysis of Potential Security Threats to Urban Drinking Water Infrastructures with a Non-Military Defense Approach Abdullah Moradi, 1 Morteza Biglari 2 Date Received: 2020/05/15 Date Accepted: 2020/09/09 Abstract Industrial-economic infrastructures are among the most important targets in hybrid wars and terrorist attacks, which are carried out with the aim of weakening the will to resist in society and incapacitating governments in providing services and continuing essential activities.
" Based on this, the main question is formulated as follows: "How is the vulnerability analysis of attacks on drinking water infrastructures with biological, cyber, military, and security threats in water and wastewater companies?" The research is from an applied-developmental objective perspective and is of an analytical-descriptive type.
Based on this, the main objective of this research is "vulnerability analysis of urban drinking water infrastructures against biological, cyber, military, and security threats with a passive defense approach in water and wastewater companies in order to reduce vulnerability, manage and confront perceived threats, and enhance security and resilience.
To answer the main question, a combination of library methods was used for the identification and classification of assets, threats, and their corresponding vulnerabilities in the field of urban drinking water supply and distribution, and also the expert session method was utilized with the presence of 15 experts and managers from the water and wastewater industry and security experts in the field of passive defense, to complete the tables of threats, vulnerability, and vulnerability analysis.
