ON APPLICATION OF FACTORIAL ANALYSIS IN PROBLEMS OF SECURITY ESTIMATION OF AUTOMATED SYSTEMS ELEMENTS

Abstract

The possibility of factorial analysis application in theestimation of the state of information systems security is considered. The procedure of selection and classification of factors as well as calculation of factors influence on the resultant indicator size are described.

Factorial analysis is one of the possible methods of automated systems security analysis. This method of analysis allows both to establish cause-and-effect relations between negative events and to characterize them quantitatively. Let’s consider the application peculiarities of a security estimation factorial model (further a factorial model) in the problem of security estimation of electronic document management system (EDMS). At the same time we will introduce universality elements into the offered model which will allow to use it for the estimation of various elements of both EDMS and other automated systems. We will especially note the applicability of the offered model and the solutions found on its basis for a human factor estimation. The model description. Let there be an information system IS which consists of N numbers of E elements, each of which in its turn consists of K components. A component of each element in a certain period of time can accept х of states s with probability r:
