Information security (person, individual) is complicated for quantitative measurement. Therefore the work examines the information security of an individual as a component of his information security, which can be evaluated quantitatively based on analytical or statistical models. The main problem, that determines the need for research in the field of information security and personal protection, stems from the contradiction associated with the conflict between the need for access to information and the need to protect the individual from manipulation and misinformation. All this determines the need to solve the actual scientific task of creating a model of information security for the individual under the influence of the results of sociological research.
The purpose of the study is to increase the information security of the individual under the influence of the results of sociological research. To achieve the specified goal, the main scientific results were obtained in the work:
the model of personality behavior under the influence of sociological information has been improved, which is based on the basic model of conforming behavior of a person taking into account his a priori beliefs and the degree of independence of thinking, and which was expanded due to the use of coefficients of influence on the personality of sources of sociological information, which allows taking into account the level of trust of the individual in sources of sociological information and peculiarities of personal perception of the results of sociological research;
for the first time, a model of information security of the individual was developed, which is based on the concept of management based on probabilistic control using the results of modeling the behavior of the individual under the influence of sociological information, which makes it possible to explore various strategies for managing the information impact of the results of sociology on the individual and to choose an appropriate strategy for managing the information flow to ensure the necessary the level of individual information security;
methods of processing sociological information, which were adapted for use in models of behavior and information security of the individual due to binarization of multidimensional research results using methods of cluster analysis and determination of probabilities for binary clusters, were further developed. The use of this approach allows you to quantitatively assess the impact of the results of sociology on the individual, to choose a rational strategy for managing informational influence, and to ensure the necessary level of personal information security. The results of scientific research were implemented in the educational process at the Department of Information and CyberSecurity Management of the State University of Information and Communication Technologies, in particular when teaching the disciplines: “Fundamentals of national security”, “Information security of the state”, “Strategic communications” and others, when preparing students in the specialty 125 Cybersecurity and information protection. The practical significance of the obtained results is that the models of informational influence and personal protection developed in the dissertation make it possible to quantitatively assess the impact of the results of sociological research on the individual and to determine a rational strategy for managing the influence, thereby increasing the effectiveness of informational personal protection. Based on them, recommendations have been developed for psychologists, psychotherapists, social psychologists, media literacy specialists, communications and PR specialists, and lawyers on the protection of personal rights to improve personal information security under the influence of sociology. The average value of the improvement of the information security of the individual: for the strategy of switching channels with the least influence is 27.9%, and for the strategy of switching channels with significant influence is 54.2%. At the same time, the statistical error of the result (with a probability of 0.95) is from 2.3% to 3.4%.
The results of scientific research were used at the Department of Information and CyberSecurity Management of the State University of Information and Communication Technologies during the implementation of research work on the topic “Prevention and countermeasures to social engineering methods in ensuring the information security of the enterprise” (state registration number 0123U100743, DUIKT, m Kyiv).
