INFORMATION SECURITY METHODS IN THE CONTEXT OF DEVELOPING A WEB PLATFORM FOR SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCES

Malyavin Maxim Yurievich

Modern web platforms designed for scientific conferences will play an important role in the development of academic cooperation and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. However, as the functionality becomes more complex and the user audience expands, the importance of ensuring the information security of such systems increases dramatically. The issues of protecting the personal data of participants, the safety of scientific materials, resistance to external attacks and ensuring the continuous functioning of the platform are becoming particularly critical. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the need for a systematic approach to information security when developing a web application for scientific conferences, analyze current threats and vulnerabilities, and build a multi-level protection model adapted to the features of the software solution in question. In the course of the study, a structural assessment of the risks associated with the operation of the web platform carried out, potential threats classified, and vulnerable links in the system architecture identified. Based on the analysis, the concept of a multi-level information security system been developed. The practical significance of the work is to create an integrated approach to the protection of web platforms for scientific conferences, which can be scalable and adaptable for various educational and scientific institutions.
