OPTIMIZATION OF PLACEMENT OF INFORMATION PROTECTION MEANS BASED ON THE APPLICATION OF A GENETIC ALGORITHM

the article considers the possibilities of modifying the genetic algorithm (GA) for solving the problem of selecting and optimizing the configurations of information protection means (IPR) for security circuits of information and communication systems (ICS). The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that in GA, as criteria for optimizing the composition of IPR, it is proposed to use the total value of risks from loss of information, as well as the integral indicator of IPR and cost indicators for each class of IPR. The genetic algorithm in the task of optimizing the selection of the composition of the IPR for ICS is considered as a variation of the problem associated with multiple selection. In such a statement, the optimization of the placement of IPR along the contours of ICS protection is considered as a modification of the combinatorial problem about the backpack. The GA used in the computing core of the decision support system (DSS) differs from the standard GA. As part of the GA modification, chromosomes are presented in the form of matrices, the elements of which are numbers that correspond to the numbers of the IPR in the ICS nodes. In the process of GA modificati
