Genetic search of the optimal configuration of information security system using simulation modeling

Abstract

Abstract The paper proposes the approach to develop a data protection system (information security system) that is optimal in effectiveness using evolutionary search methods. This approach is characterized by the ability to take into account the influence of random factors (staff qualifications, equipment failures, attack time on the protection system) when choosing a protection option and the possibility of adapting the protection system to changing environmental conditions. The development of an effective information security system using a genetic algorithm is possible on the basis of data on monitoring events in the system, data received from experts and during simulation modeling of the protection system. The research results are of applied nature and can be used in developments related to the design of information systems, decision support systems in the field of information security.
