MODERN THREATS TO INFORMATION SECURITY: CLASSIFICATION AND PROTECTION METHODS

Abstract

This article is devoted to modern threats to information security and effective methods of counteraction. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of modern threats to information security, including the use of malicious software (SW), cyber attacks. The authors considered comprehensive measures not only to protect information, but also the IT infrastructure of companies as a whole. The authors paid special attention to the methods of machine learning and artificial intelligence in order to ensure information security and protect corporate information systems (CIS). The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of modern threats to information security, study their classification and effective methods of combating them, aimed at minimizing the risks of confidential data leakage and ensuring information security in general. The materials of the study were the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to ensuring information security, as well as regulatory documentation and GOSTs. In the course of the study, a systematic approach was used, providing a comparative analysis of the classification of threats to information security and effective measures to combat them. The assessment of modern cybercrimes, malicious software and measures to combat them, which includes the implementation of organizational, technical measures and compliance with legislative acts, GOSTs in the field of information security, plays a special role in the study. For visualization and deep understanding, a graphical illustration of malicious computer programs is presented.
