Ranking Threats to Determine the Cost of Protecting Information in a Cybersecurity Environment

Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to rank certain threats in order to establish further costs for ensuring the protecting of information in the cybersecurity system. Research methodology is a set of methods that form a methodological approach. The main ones are the ranking method through the theory of fuzzy relations and the expert-step method. As a result, due to the ranking of the threats of the selected object, the permissible intensity of the decrease in the level of security and the costs of its provision were determined using the proposed methodology. The results obtained implied the use of modern ranking methods according to the given parameters. In our case, the results obtained allowed us to rank the existing list of threats in the cybersecurity system. The benefit of such results lies in the formation of an information basis for the adoption and implementation of management decisions.The study is limited by selecting only one socio-economic system and its information. The results obtained out in the article have practical and scientific value through a methodical approach to form requirements for the security of the cybersecurity system itself and information of a single object. In the future, more complex socio-economic systems and their cybersecurity should be chosen to apply the methodological approach proposed in the article.

The Impact of a Practice-Oriented Paradigm on Public Administration and National Security

“…The fourth group of studies makes a significant contribution to the understanding and promotion of such important issues as cybersecurity, public order, national security indicators, and the formation of social leadership for national security [19][20][21][22][23][24]. The fifth group of studies examines the dynamics of public administration, social changes, national security methodology, and the symbiotic relationship between state institutions and society [25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…State policy can be aimed at developing cultural education and awareness among citizens, in particular by including cultural subjects in curricula and supporting cultural events for the population. This contributes to increasing the level of education, tolerance, understanding and respect for different cultures, which contributes to social stability and national security [27].…”
