This article describes development of a module which provides opportunity to extract text from images of modified text, which can be used to bypass existing information security software and spread sensitive information out of company. The developed module is based on Python programming language with additional libraries expanding basic functional. After creating a module, additional module allowing user to create modified text by themselves was made. Additional module uses a special dictionary that can change any letter to alternative and generate more modified texts in order to test and find the weak spots of a module. To integrate the module into company’s information infrastructure DLP-systems were chosen, because of their popularity and ease of the integration method.

In the modern world, the number of different complex technical systems is only increasing every year, and any system incorporates or uses a third-party communication system. Disruption of the communication system and its elements functioning can lead to a situation where a complex technical system cannot realize its functions. It is required to ensure the guaranteed functioning of the communication system and its elements. One of the ways to ensure the stable operation of complex technical systems is the implementation of the control function by the control system, while in the process of system operation it is necessary to take into account not the characteristics and parameters of individual elements that describe their operation, but the ability of the system to perform tasks and functions. The paper proposes an approach to describing the functioning of a communication system through the formation of the system functioning profile, which is a set of matrices, which is used in the control system.

The work is devoted to the problems of protecting the document management system of public administration bodies. The aim of the work is to build a simulation model of the implementation of a targeted computer attack, taking into account the simultaneous (occurring with a slight delay) response of the security tools of the document management system. For modeling, it is proposed to use the apparatus of Petri-Markov networks, combining the representation of the change of states of the attacked system in the form of Markov (semi-Markov) processes and the expressive capabilities of Petri nets to describe the interaction of processes. The constructed model reflects both the specifics of attacks with increased user privileges, and the features of document processing processes, as well as the mechanisms used to counteract unauthorized access. Computational experiments conducted using the constructed simulation model allow us to assess possible risks and make a decision on choosing the most effective system of protection against the considered type of attacks.
