Abstract:

The problem and purpose of the article is to shape professional competencies of future specialists in the information security field using modern virtualization systems.
The use of a practice-based approach as a method of teaching and learning in combination with practical activities. The use of digital innovative virtualization technologies as a mandatory component of a practice-based approach.
To improve the process of shaping professional competencies, (on the basis of a license from InfoWatch) a specialized virtual laboratory was organized on the basis of the Omsk State Technical University; it allowed configuring and verifying the DLP system, determining security policies, ensuring control of information flows in the company and analyzing identified incidents. For this purpose, an algorithm for introducing a DLP system into the educational process have been developed, the students could define information security objects and develop appropriate policies to prevent data leakage and identify possible incidents, intercepts confidential information through controlled communication channels.
The use of modern virtualization tools for studying the functionality of modern DLP systems allows students to put theoretical knowledge into practice and be ready to solve different professional tasks ensuring the corporate organizations protection from internal leakage of confidential data.
