Information structures in the framework of information warfare – ontology approach

Abstract

The concept of information warfare involves the use of information and communication technology to achieve an advantage over a potential enemy. The goal is to take decisions against their interests in the interests of their enemies. Information structures are treated as systems that process various types of information, provide its storage and access to users. Such structures may include neural networks, self-learning systems, etc. They must be prepared to train, respond to threats and ensure the safety of their existence, which is topical during the modern information warfare. In this paper, the theoretical aspects related to the security of information systems from the point of view of the system theory and ontology approach will be considered. Knowledge base for information structures can be elements of artificial intelligence, which must be secured against external threats. Ontologies have gained increasing interest in the computer science community and their benefits are now recognized for different applications.
