Development of an intrusion detection system for the protection of printing companies and publishing houses

The protection systems of printing companies and publishing houses are focused on detecting and counteracting external and internal threats that lead to attacks and violations of their normal functioning. Today, most protected organizations use network technologies and communications, so it is important to ensure their smooth operation in the face of external threats and attacks and to develop a security policy strategy to control and counteract possible negative factors. The article analyses modern intrusion detection systems (IDS) in the complex protection systems of printing companies and publishing houses, describes dangerous events that they can track, provides tools to counter and control possible attacks and accidental events that do not show signs of attacks, based on which the algorithm deploys IDS to counter external attacks. The significant attention is paid to the process of IDS designing, their installation and configuration in the security system of organizations. The peculiarity of such intrusion detection systems is that in addition to the general global settings adopted by the software during the installation, it is possible to identify locally dangerous events that may adversely affect the work of printing companies and publishing houses, set limits for various signs of attacks and appropriate countermeasures to prevent their implementation. It is substantiated that for the successful work of IDS, which is planned to be installed for automated document management systems (ASD), in the management of printing production (PP), it is advisable to use IDS (HIDS), and to recognize and counter external attacks – IDS network (NIDS). Based on the research of various IDS tools, the purposes of their use and methods of dealing with dangerous events that occur when security is violated in the PP, the general principle of protection of printing companies and publishing houses with IDS is suggested in the form of a functional diagram.
