A real or potential threat to various large and small security objects, which comes from both internal and external attackers, determines one or another activities to ensure internal and external security. These actions depend on the spheres of life of state and society, which are targeted by the security threats. These threats can be conveniently classified into political threats (or threats to the existing constitutional order), economic, military, informational, technogenic, environmental, corporate, and other threats. The article discusses a model of an information system, which main criterion is the system security based on the concept of risk. When considering the model, it was determined that it possess multi-criteria aspects. Therefore the establishing the quantitative and qualitative characteristics is a complex and dynamic task. The paper proposes to use the mathematical apparatus of the teletraffic theory in one of the elements of the protected system, namely, in the end-to-end security subsystem.

Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks continue to be one of the most challenging threats to the Internet. The intensity and frequency of these attacks are increasing at an alarming rate. Numerous schemes have been proposed to mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks. This paper presents a comprehensive empirical evaluation of Machine Learning (ML)based DDoS detection techniques, to gain better understanding of their performance in different types of environments. To this end, a framework is developed, focusing on different attack scenarios, to investigate the performance of a class of ML-based techniques. The evaluation uses different performance metrics, including the impact of the “Class Imbalance Problem” on ML-based DDoS detection. The results of the comparative analysis show that no one technique outperforms all others in all test cases. Furthermore, the results underscore the need for a method oriented feature selection model to enhance the capabilities of ML-based detection techniques. Finally, the results show that the class imbalance problem significantly impacts performance, underscoring the need to address this problem in order to enhance ML-based DDoS detection capabilities.

Steganography enables user to hide confidential data in any digital medium such that its existence cannot be concealed by the third party. Several research work is being is conducted to improve steganography algorithm's efficiency. Recent trends in computing technology use steganography as an important tool for hiding confidential data. This paper summarizes some of the research work conducted in the field of image steganography in spatial domain along with their advantages and disadvantages. Future research work and experimental results of some techniques is also being discussed. The key goal is to show the powerful impact of steganography in information hiding and image processing domain.
