The goal of this study is to combine the principle of Heronian mean (HM) operator with Cq-ROFS is to initiate the complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy HM (Cq-ROFHM) operator, complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted HM (Cq-ROFWHM) operator, complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy geometric HM (Cq-ROFGHM) operator, complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted geometric HM (Cq-ROFWGHM) operator, and their flexible and dominant properties. These operators can help to aggregate any number of attributes to determine the reliability and consistency of the investigated operators. Moreover, there are physical and non-physical threats. Physical threats cause damage to computer systems hardware and infrastructure. Examples include theft, vandalism through to natural disasters. Non-physical threats target the software and data on the computer systems. To manage such sort of troubles, we determine the analyzing and controlling computer security threats based on presented operators under the Cq-ROFS. Finally, to show the reliability and proficiency of the presented approaches, we resolved some numerical examples by using the explored operators. The comparative analysis, advantages, and graphical interpretations of the presented works are also discovered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-210870","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,7]],"date-time":"2021-12-07T14:09:56Z","timestamp":1638886196000},"page":"6949-6981","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Analyzing and controlling computer security threats based on complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy heronian mean operators"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Thammarat","family":"Panityakul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Computational Science, Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Songkhla, Thailand"}]},{"given":"Tahir","family":"Mahmood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, International Islamic University Islamabad, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Zeeshan","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, International Islamic University Islamabad, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Aslam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Sciences, King Khalid University Abha, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-0114(86)80034-3","article-title":"Intuitionistic fuzzy sets","volume":"20","author":"Atanassov","year":"1986","journal-title":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"338","DOI":"10.1016\/S0019-9958(65)90241-X","article-title":"A fuzzy sets","volume":"8","author":"Zadeh","year":"1965","journal-title":"Information and Control"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"958","DOI":"10.1109\/TFUZZ.2013.2278989","article-title":"Pythagorean membership grades in multicriteria decision making","volume":"22","author":"Yager","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Trans Fuzzy Syst"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1222","DOI":"10.1109\/TFUZZ.2016.2604005","article-title":"Generalized orthopair fuzzy sets","volume":"25","author":"Yager","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"834","DOI":"10.1109\/TFUZZ.2018.2826452","article-title":"Multiple-attribute decision-making based on Archimedean Bonferroni Operators of q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers","volume":"27","author":"Liu","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"0246485","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0246485","article-title":"Multi-criteria decision making in robotic agri-farming with q-rung orthopair m-polar fuzzy sets","volume":"16","author":"Riaz","year":"2021","journal-title":"Plos One"},{"key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104167","DOI":"10.1016\/j.engappai.2021.104167","article-title":"Q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted induced logarithmic distance measures and their application in multiple attribute decision making","volume":"100","author":"Zeng","year":"2021","journal-title":"Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"558","DOI":"10.1002\/int.22311","article-title":"A new ranking technique for q-rung orthopair fuzzy values","volume":"36","author":"Khan","year":"2021","journal-title":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref9","first-page":"1","article-title":"Generalized similarity measures under linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment with application to multiple attribute decision-making","volume":"4","author":"Verma","year":"2021","journal-title":"Granular Computing"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"439","DOI":"10.1002\/int.22060","article-title":"New q-rung orthopair fuzzy partitioned Bonferroni mean operators and their application in multiple attribute decision making","volume":"34","author":"Yang","year":"2019","journal-title":"International Journal of Intelligent Systems"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210870_ref11","first-page":"464","article-title":"Complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
