Abstract
The Information Protection Organizations is responsible for ensuring the security of the army It is evident that a significant part of foresight in preventing surprise and intelligence or security failures is made possible through timely protective warnings. For this purpose, the present study was conducted with the aim of “designing the information protection of the Army warning model”. The research is of an applied fundamental type, utilizing a qualitative approach based on grounded theory research methodology. Data collection methods in this study included fieldwork (unstructured deep interviews) and library research (documents, books, and academic journals), with qualitative analysis (grounded reasoning) used to examine the collected data. The statistical population consists of 21 individuals, including authorities, commanders, experts, and researchers from the Army and the Information Protection Organization, all of whom have a minimum service rank of 18, at least 30 years of service, and at least a Master's degree. The interviews were conducted using a snowball method to identify the interviewees and continued until theoretical saturation was reached. A total of 740 data points were extracted from the interview transcripts related to the research topic. To explain the information protection warning model, the data was analyzed and categorized using three stages of open, axial, and selective coding, which ultimately 95 indicators, 29 components, and 4 dimensions were extracted for the model under discussion.' Warning quality', 'warning domains, and 'warning tools' were introduced as the key dimensions of the research.
