THEORETICAL PATTERN OF SECURITY SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

<ns3:p>The complexity of modern security systems requires comprehensive (holistic) research methods thatnot only reduce complexity but also maintain high diagnostic power. The author addresses theproblem area of security system structures, which can be classified as the scientific discipline ofsecurity engineering. A pre-research theory strategy and a deformation method and abstractiontechnique were applied, based on the existing meaning of specific primary concepts and axioms ofaction system theory. It was assumed that every security system, which is an example of an actionsystem, is composed of layers. Based on his conclusions, the author distinguished the human,organisational and technical layers. The main research problem is of a praxeological nature and isexpressed in the following question: what types of security system configurations can be distinguishedon the basis of action system theory? The result is a description of four basic types of security systemarchitecture: unification, coordination, replication, and diversification.</ns3:p>
