ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION SECURITY THREATS IN CORPORATE NETWORKS AND METHODS OF THEIR NEUTRALIZATION

Abstract

The article examines modern threats to information security faced by corporate networks, as well as analyzes methods and means of their neutralization. The relevance of the research is due to the rapid digital transformation of business, the transition to remote work formats, the active introduction of cloud technologies and the Internet of Things, which significantly expands the attack surface for intruders. According to analytical reports, the number of successful cyber-attacks on corporate networks increases by 15–20 percent annually, and the average damage from a single attack for a large company can reach several million dollars. The purpose of the work is to systematize modern threats to information security in corporate networks, analyze methods for their identification and neutralization, as well as identify promising areas for the development of security systems. The methodological base of the study includes an analysis of data on cyber-attacks in recent years, an overview of modern information security tools, as well as a summary of best practices in building information security systems.
