Design of mechanisms for ensuring the execution of tasks in project planning

This paper reports an analysis of aspects of the project planning stage. The object of research is the decision-making processes that take place at this stage. This work considers the problem of building a hierarchy of tasks, their distribution among performers, taking into account restrictions on financial costs and duration of project implementation. Verbal and mathematical models of the task of constructing a hierarchy of tasks and other tasks that take place at the stage of project planning were constructed. Such indicators of the project implementation process efficiency were introduced as the time, cost, and cost-time efficiency. In order to be able to apply these criteria, the tasks of estimating the minimum value of the duration of the project and its minimum required cost were considered. Appropriate methods have been developed to solve them. The developed iterative method for assessing the minimum duration of project implementation is based on taking into account the possibility of simultaneous execution of various tasks. The method of estimating the minimum cost of the project is to build and solve the problem of Boolean programming. The values obtained as a result of solving these problems form an «ideal point», approaching which is enabled by the developed iterative method of constructing a hierarchy of tasks based on the method of sequential concessions. This method makes it possible to devise options for management decisions to obtain valid solutions to the problem. According to them, the decision maker can introduce a concession on the value of one or both components of the «ideal point» or change the input data to the task. The models and methods built can be used when planning projects in education, science, production, etc.

Resilient Cloud cluster with DevSecOps security model, automates a data analysis, vulnerability search and risk calculation

Automated, secure software development is an important task of digitalization, which is solved with the DevSecOps approach. An important part of the DevSecOps approach is continuous risk assessment, which is necessary to identify and evaluate risk factors. Combining the development cycle with continuous risk assessment creates synergies in software development and operation and minimizes vulnerabilities. The article presents the main methods of deploying web applications, ways to increase the level of information security at all stages of product development, compares different types of infrastructures and cloud computing providers, and analyzes modern tools used to automate processes. The cloud cluster was deployed using Terraform and the Jenkins pipeline, which is written in the Groovy programming language, which checks program code for vulnerabilities and allows you to fix violations at the earliest stages of developing secure web applications. The developed cluster implements the proposed algorithm for automated risk assessment based on the calculation (modeling) of threats and vulnerabilities of cloud infrastructure, which operates in real time, periodically collecting all information and adjusting the system in accordance with the risk and applied controls. The algorithm for calculating risk and losses is based on statistical data and the concept of the FAIR information risk assessment methodology. The risk value obtained using the proposed method is quantitative, which allows more efficient forecasting of information security costs in software development.

The Methods to Improve Quality of Service by Accounting Secure Parameters

A solution to the problem of ensuring quality of service, providing a greater number of services with higher efficiency taking into account network security is proposed. In this paper, experiments were conducted to analyze the effect of self-similarity and attacks on the quality of service parameters. Method of buffering and control of channel capacity and calculating of routing cost method in the network, which take into account the parameters of traffic multifractality and the probability of detecting attacks in telecommunications networks were proposed. The both proposed methods accounting the given restrictions on the delay time and the number of lost packets for every type quality of service traffic. During simulation the parameters of transmitted traffic (self-similarity, intensity) and the parameters of network (current channel load, node buffer size) were changed and the maximum allowable load of network was determined. The results of analysis show that occurrence of overload when transmitting traffic over a switched channel associated with multifractal traffic characteristics and presence of attack. It was shown that proposed methods can reduce the lost data and improve the efficiency of network resources.

Calculation of distributed system imbalance in condition of multifractal load

The method of calculating a distributed system imbalance based on the calculation of node system load was proposed in the work. Calculation of node system load is carried out by calculating the average coefficient of utilization of CPU, memory, bandwidth of each system node, taking into account multifractal properties of input data flows. The simulation of the proposed method for different multifractal parameters was conducted. The simulation showed that the characteristics of multifractal traffic have a considerable effect on the system imbalance. Using the proposed method allows to distribute requests across the servers so that the deviation of the load servers from the average value was minimal, which allows to get higher system performance metrics and faster processing flows.

In this paper, the problem of load balancing in network intrusion detection system is considered. Load balancing method based on work of several components of network intrusion detection system and on the analysis of multifractal properties of incoming traffic is proposed. The proposed method takes into account a degree of multifractality for calculation of deep packet inspection time, on the basis of which the time necessary for comparing the packet with the signatures is calculated. Load balancing rules are generated using the estimated average deep packet inspection time and the multifractality parameters of incoming load. Comparative analysis of the proposed load balancing method with the standard one showed that the proposed method improves the quality of service parameters and the percentage of packets that are not analyzed.
