The development of information technology is a new challenge for computer network security systems and the information contained in it, the level of awareness of the importance of network security systems is still very low. according to a survey conducted by Symantec, the desire to renew an existing security system within a year within a company has the result that only 13% of respondents consider changes to the security system to be important from a total of 3,300 companies worldwide as respondents. This lack of awareness results in the emergence of security holes that can be used by crackers to enter and disrupt the stability of the system. Every year cyber attacks increase significantly, so that every year there is a need to improve the security of the existing system. Based on that, a method is needed to periodically assess system and network security by using penetrarion testing methods to obtain any vulnerabilities that exist on the network and on a system so as to increase security and minimize theft or loss of important data. Testing is carried out by using internal network penetration testing method which tests using 5 types of attacks. From the results of the tests, each system has a security risk of 20-80%. From the results of these tests it can be concluded that each system has a security vulnerability that can be attacked.

The use of computer networks in an agency aims to facilitate communication and data transfer between devices. The network that can be applied can be using wireless media or LAN cable. At SMP XYZ, most of the computers still use wireless networks. Based on the findings in the field, it was found that there was no user management problem. Therefore, an analysis and audit of the network security system is needed to ensure that the network security system at SMP XYZ is safe and running well. In conducting this analysis, a tool is needed which will be used as a benchmark to determine the security of the wireless network. The tools used are Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) which is one of the tools to become a standard in analyzing or auditing network security systems in a company in this case, namely analyzing and auditing wireless network security systems. After conducting an analysis based on these tools, there are still many security holes in the XYZ wireless SMP that allow outsiders to illegally access and obtain vulnerabilities in terms of WPA2 cracking, DoS, wireless router password cracking, and access point isolation so that it can be said that network security at SMP XYZ is still not safe

Depending on the inclination of the authors and the focus of their security research, we recognize two most common approaches: the first focuses on the stability of national governance structures and territorial integrity (state and/or national security); while the second approach focuses on security as a civil right in daily life, the availability of necessary resources and the quality of life. The latter approach is known in theory as the concept of human security. Considering the fact that a comprehensive analysis of the security situation involves elements of both approaches, in the paper we consider the complex relationship between state and non-state security actors through the hybridization of the political system. The mismatch between the level of the national strategy and its operationalization at the level of meeting the needs of citizens requires the introduction of new elements in the space between the strategic and operational levels. The outlined approach can be called the Hybrid Security System because of its potential contribution to raising the level of Human Security (HS) in local communities. We will present the hybrid security system conceptually in the form of a decentralized computer network. The presented diagram of System Dynamics and the proposed model of HS operationalization through the hybridization of security systems using the potential of Information and Communications Technologies are a good basis for the analysis and raising the level of citizens’ security in relation to current threats.

Computer networks are basically not safe to access freely. Security gaps in the network can be seen by irresponsible people with various techniques. Opening a port for access carries a high risk of being attacked by an attacker. In this connection, network administrators are required to work more to be able to secure the computer network they manage. One form of network security that is often used by network administrators in server management is through remote login such as ports on telnet, SSH, etc. A port that is always open is a network security hole that can be used by people who are not responsible for logging into the server. Focusing on these problems, in this study, Random Port Knocking is the right way and can be used to increase network security. With Random Port Knocking, the port will be opened as needed, the port will automatically change when it fails to log in more than three times and IP will automatically be blocked and access will not continue so that attacks on the network can be avoided and network security stability can be further improved. The final result of this research shows that the method applied in this research makes server safe. Because port randomization and IP block make irresponsible parties try harder to penetrate firewall walls.

Estimating the benefits of network security systems is important for security decisions since considerable resources are spent on them and organizations need to know the returns on their investments. The objective of the model presented here is to improve management decisions. Better decisions imply greater security for the budget. This model has a number of novel features such as a probabilistic sub-model for the detection and response process, a new attack/damage matrix based on damage-type and cyber-attacks by category, and extensive sensitivity analyses. The results suggest a number of insights into the factors affecting the benefits from sensors such as the effects of non-linear relationships between the rate of attacks and the damages caused. The key role of the value of sensitive information is identified. The model helps identify the conditions under which a new security system provides enough benefits to justify its purchase.

to strengthen the network security and to enhance the accuracy of the network security risk assessment, the essay conducts game analysis to the security system of protective mechanisms. Using the basic theory of games and the analytical and comparative method, and raising the network security and physical model for the security system, this process will protect and improve the network security. At the aspect of setting the model, we did not rely on the traditional game theory, but creatively set behavior of the game for a large number of players for the limit logos of groups in the model, and paid more attention to the detection system to reach a state of stability. Analysis shows that the proposed models and the method are feasible and effective.

The article discusses the possibility of modifying the genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the problems of selection, optimization and management of the dynamic configuration of information security means for the security chain of information and communication systems (ICS). The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that GA recommends using the total cost of information loss risks, as well as cost indicators for each class of information security systems as a criterion for optimizing the composition of the information security system. The genetic algorithm is considered as a kind of problem associated with multiple choice when optimizing the choice of information content of information security and solving problems of dynamic management of cybersecurity resources. In this concept, the optimization of the placement of the information security system along the security chain is considered as a modification of the combined backpack problem. The proposed approach allows not only to quickly calculate various versions of software and hardware information systems and their combinations for ICS, but also to dynamically manage the proposed algorithm with existing models and algorithms to optimize the composition of ICS cybersecurity chains and cybersecurity resources of various information objects. It is possible that such a combination of models and algorithms will quickly restore ICS protection by configuring profiles in accordance with the classes of new threats and cyber attacks.
