In the realm of cybersecurity, the formulation of comprehensive strategies is imperative for multinational corporations to protect against pervasive cyber threats. Recent developments in the field of intuitionistic multi-fuzzy sets (IMFSs) have heralded q-rung orthopair multi-fuzzy sets (MFSs) as a pivotal tool for encapsulating ambiguity and uncertainty within complex scenarios. The essence of this study lies in the introduction of two innovative distance measures tailored for q-rung orthopair MFSs (q-ROM k FSs) of dimension k, enhancing the capacity to delineate distinctions between such sets effectively. Employing score functions pertinent to q-ROM k FSs, this research extends its application to the sphere of Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM), presenting a methodological advancement in decision-making processes. The efficacy of the proposed measures is elucidated through a comparative analysis with existing methodologies in MADM, thereby underscoring the superiority of the introduced approach. This investigation not only contributes to the enrichment of the theoretical underpinnings of q-ROMFSs but also propels their practical application in cybersecurity strategy formulation for multinational entities. The study employs the Euclidean and Hamming distance measures as benchmarks, supplemented by the development of a score and accuracy function, to furnish a comprehensive tool for addressing cybersecurity challenges.
