| description | In an era where data is a vital organizational asset, the challenge of safeguarding digital infrastructure while maintaining system usability has become increasingly complex. Network security solutions must not only protect against evolving threats but also support efficient and user-friendly operations. This study explores a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to evaluate various computer network security strategies by balancing the trade-offs between usability, scalability, responsiveness, and compliance. By integrating qualitative and quantitative evaluation metrics, this framework provides a systematic methodology for selecting optimal security systems that align with organizational needs. The framework has two main steps; in the first step we show the criteria weights by the WENSLO method. In the second step we show rank of alternatives by the COBRA method. We use the Trapezoidal Fuzzy Neutrosophic numbers (TFNNs) to deal with uncertainty. Also, we use the Dombi operator with the TFNNs to combine the different TFNNs. |
