REQUIREMENTS FOR MODERN PROCESSORS FOR SECURE OPERATION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS

The article considers the main requirements for the technical support of computer architecture for the security of information systems and networks. It is proved that the problem of information protection requires the organization of a whole complex of special protection measures to prevent the loss of information contained in its transmission channels. The possibilities and consequences of abuse of information transmitted through telecommunications channels, which are developing and improving intensively, have been identified, and means of their prevention have been investigated. Thus, today there is a modern technology for protecting information transmitted via telecommunications channels, the sphere of influence of which includes not only communication channels, but also switching centers, peripheral devices, terminals, communication administrators, local computer networks, etc. It is justified that the analysis of requirements for modern technical and software components, among which the leading place should be given to the processor, is in the focus of our research. The consequences of non-compliance with the proposed requirements for the technical support of the computer architecture, which is a potential threat and a possible catalyst for the danger of information systems and networks, are investigated. The feasibility of implementing special tools, methods, and measures to prevent information loss has been established. It was determined that a thorough analysis requires studying the components of the set of recommendations for optimizing processor selection, based on the components and requirements for the security of information systems and networks, which are not sufficiently considered in the publications of domestic and foreign scientists. An analysis of processors included in the rating of the best models in recent years according to various criteria was performed, and the problem of choosing the optimal processor to meet the need for ensuring information security in the network was studied. Advice and recommendations on their selection for the security of information systems and networks are presented in numerous studies. Ways of improving the system are proposed, which are important to consider when modernizing the existing system in order to enable further updating of its components.
