Complex protection of information objects

Computers, computer networks of information systems, telecommunications are information objects. These objects need the complex protection.

Complex protection includes all methods of information protection, organizational, legal and technical protection, including program and hardware methods.

The specialists of complex protection need to know well information technologies. Therefore students learn programming, computer hardware, administration of computer networks and information systems.

Information systems include big operation systems, for example, Windows, Linux and UNIX.

Software and hardware methods are used to support the confidentiality and authenticity of the data in computer networks, databases, the telecommunication and mobile systems. These systems are based on the cryptographic algorithms.

The students also study architecture of the basic families of microcontrollers, programming languages and means of programs debugging.

The questions of creation and application protection systems occupy a special place in the training of students. The intellectual protection systems use algorithms of person biometric identification, based on finger prints, human voice and on the graphic image.

Specialists of complex protection can deal with such issues as:

1) Experimental - research activity:

a) The investigation of physical influence on the information processes in the protected objects.

b) The study of canals of informational leakage.

c) Carrying out contrastive information analyses received after researches and tests.

2) Operational activity

The graduates work as engineers in various spheres, for example, in security firms.
