Estimation of financial costs for information protection tools development by decision support system

This article examines decision support systems focused on information protection. It is found that many of known systems either are without subsystems for computing of financial costs for information protection tools development or their mathematical tools require great computing resources. We developed method for estimation of financial costs for information protection tools development including security technical systems by taking into account their specific features. Proposed method is based on the game theory mathematical tool. Based on developed method we designed structure of decision support system, which provides recommendations to manager according to results of preformed estimation of information protection tools including security technical systems. While the estimation is based on financial cost minimization criterion under known cost of protected information.
