Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology and its implementation in our lives, the problem of information protection is becoming increasingly important. During the hybrid war, the large-scale transition of private and public organizations to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, the era of digital transformation of the state, this problem urgently requires a constant search for effective solutions. Critical infrastructure, public and private sector information systems suffer significant damage from cyberattacks. The magnitude of these losses directly depends on the timely detection of unauthorized interference in their work. The purpose of this article is to establish the advantages and disadvantages of known methods for their further effective implementation within the construction of information security systems. To achieve this goal, the most common methods of detecting cyberattacks are analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages are identified. In particular, systems based on signature analysis are more stable and have fewer false positives. However, they are ineffective in detecting new cyberattacks. Expert methods based on fuzzy logic are characterized by the subjectivity of the results and time spent in implementation. Based on the analysis, the prospects for the development of methods for detecting cyberattacks using artificial intelligence technologies are identified, in particular, the use of grid networks to increase computing power when working with large amounts of data and implementation of in-depth information analysis algorithms is proposed. The results obtained can be used in the construction of integrated information security systems and/or information security management systems. In addition, they can contribute to the indexing (rating) of objects for assessing the level of cybersecurity, the development of cyber insurance as an alternative approach to information protection and increase Ukraine's potential in the field of cybersecurity and cyber defence. Building active cyber defence systems using artificial intelligence technologies will provide a safer environment for the further development of new technologies and the sustainable existence of society in it. In addition, it can have a positive economic effect by minimizing anticipated losses and centralized implementation of technical means of protection using dynamic allocation of resources.
