Abstract

In the paper, the specifics of training future information security specialists, who are needed to have a formed competency for neutralization of internal and external information security threats are being analyzed. According to the authors, all kinds of corporate information and personal data leaks arising from the actions of so-called “internal intruders” or insiders represent a particular danger, against which the Data Loss Prevention software class (DLP systems) is the most effective remedy. InfoWatch Traffic Monitor 6.11 is a Russian software product certified in Russia FSTEC system and considered as one of the world leaders in this class of software. Based on the license obtained from InfoWatch, in the virtual laboratory of Omsk State Technical University a specialized stand was created, which gives an opportunity to develop one of the most important and modern digital competencies - “Corporate protection from internal threats to information security”. Using it as a basis, students gain skills to configure and verify the DLP system, determine security policies, ensure control of information flows in the company and analyze incidents that have been identified. For this purpose, an algorithm for introducing a DLP system into the educational process have been developed, where students could define information security objects and develop appropriate policies to prevent data leakage and identify possible incidents, intercepts confidential information through controlled communication channels.
