Protection from reconnaissance for establishing information security systems
Mikhail Styugin · Information Security Journal A Global Perspective · 2019
The paper presents a generalized method for improving security of information systems based on protection of the systems from reconnaissance by adversaries. Attacks carried out by exploiting almost all vulnerabilities require particular information about the architecture and operating algorithms of an information system. Obstructions to obtain that information also complicates carrying out attacks. Reconnaissance-protection methods can be utilized for establishing such systems (continuous change of attack surface). Practical implementation of the techniques demonstrated their high efficiency in reducing the risk of information resources to be cracked or compromised.
