Classification of information security profiles of actors in social Internet services (using the example of the microblog Twitter)
Ruslan Hryshchuk, Viktor Mamariev, Kateryna Molodetska-HrynchukSocial networking services (SNS) are a popular means of social communication for members of virtual communities - actors. At the same time, SNS have become an effective tool for conducting information operations directed against state information security. Therefore, an important scientific task is the timely detection of signs of information operations in the SNS. In the previous stages of research, a method for constructing profiles of information security actors in the SNS, which allows to assess the level of their threat as a possible participant in the information operation. The proposed method is generalized to all SNS and does not take into account the diversity of the set of attributes of profiles in individual services. Consequently, the perspective direction of research is the adaptation of this method for a specific SNS and its verification for further use in the system of providing information security of the state. An experimental study of the method is performed on the example of the microblogging Twitter. It is established that the accuracy and speed of the construction of profiles depends on the algorithm of the binary classification, which is used at the stage of assigning the actor to one of the given classes of threats. The obtained results coincide with the known academic studies, which testifies to the expediency of application of the developed method for automation of procedures for early detection of signs of information operations in the SNS
