Software Package for Training Users to Respond to Information Security Incidents in Industrial Automated Systems

The article considers the issue of increasing the level of security of industrial automated systems by automating the training of users to respond to information security incidents. A software package for training users to respond to information security incidents in industrial automated systems is proposed. The article presents an overview of the information security state in industrial automated systems: the damage from cyber threats, types of attacks and objects of attacks in industrial automated systems, confidential information of the attackers’ interest. The study examined the impact of the users’ information security knowledge level on improving the quality of users’ response to information security incidents to increase the level of industrial automated systems security and prevent information security threats. 4 classes of attacks were investigated: 1) attacks using malicious software, 2) DoS-type attacks, 3) attacks using social engineering methods, 4) credential matching attacks. The results of the study and experimental data confirm the effectiveness of the proposed software package, which made it possible to increase the industrial automated system security level by an average of 28%.
