Security of significant objects of critical information infrastructure

The issues related to the security of significant objects of critical information infrastructure are considered. The relevance of these problems is primarily due to the fact that the number of cyberattacks on various sectors of the Russian economy and primarily on significant objects of critical information infrastructure (state, defense, oil and gas industry, etc.) is increasing. Unfortunately, the limited access to the available information in this area does not allow today the researchers in the field of information security to conduct a proper analysis. In addition the corresponding media and Internet resources are incomplete. The tasks of ensuring the security of significant objects of critical information infrastructure in order to ensure their sustainable functioning under the destructive impact of computer attacks are regulated by a number of fundamental normative legal acts, primarily the Federal law No. 187-FZ "on security of critical information infrastructure of the Russian Federation" (2017) and the Doctrine of information security of the Russian Federation (2016). Currently at the stage of formation of the digital economy the creation of national information resources and the protection of significant objects of critical information infrastructure is one of the major sources of economic, political, social and military power of the state, the basis of socio-economic and socio-political development of the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is significant objects of critical information infrastructure as the basis of stability and existence of the state, the Russian Federation. The work pays considerable attention to the requirements for structural units to ensure the security of significant objects of critical information infrastructure. Thus, the risk of computer attacks for the subjects of critical information infrastructure has serious consequences, ranging from damage to the reputation and to the paralyzation of enterprise with the subsequent disruption of defense orders for the army and Navy. The requirements to structural units of security of significant objects of critical information infrastructure as well as to their staffing are considered.
