Development of a model for choosing strategies for investing in information security

Abstract

This paper has proposed a model of the computational core for the decision support system (DSS) when investing in the projects of information security (IS) of the objects of informatization (OBI). Including those OBI that can be categorized as critically important. Unlike existing solutions, the proposed model deals with decision-making issues in the ongoing process of investing in the projects to ensure the OBI IS by a group of investors. The calculations were based on the bilinear differential quality games with several terminal surfaces. Finding a solution to these games is a big challenge. It is due to the fact that the Cauchy formula for bilinear systems with arbitrary strategies of players, including immeasurable functions, cannot be applied in such games. This gives grounds to continue research on finding solutions in the event of a conflict of multidimensional objects. The result was an analytical solution based on a new class of bilinear differential games. The solution describes the interaction of objects investing in OBI IS in multidimensional spaces. The modular software product "Cybersecurity Invest decision support system " (Ukraine) for the Windows platform is described. Applied aspects of visualization of the results of calculations obtained with the help of DSS have been also considered. The Plotly library for the Python algorithmic language was used to visualize the results. It has been shown that the model reported in this work can be transferred to other tasks related to the development of DSS in the process of investing in high-risk projects, such as information technology, cybersecurity, banking, etc.
