OVERVIEW OF THE MODERN METHODS OF PROTECTION
AND SECURITY OF SOFTWARE SYSTEMS
Abstract. Security and protection of software resources are one of the most important problems in the IT industry since attackers’ actions become increasingly sophisticated and losses caused by cyberattacks are growing. Traditional methods of cyberattack prevention become inefficient; therefore, development of new methods and tools to secure software resources becomes of essential need. The studies that are based on formal methods with the use of modern algebraic theories are especially interesting and promising.
Keywords: algebraic modeling, behavior algebra, cybersecurity, formal methods, insertion programming, symbolic methods, symbolic modeling, vulnerability detection.
