PROSPECTS OF INTRODUCING IMPORT-INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE IN THE ACTIVITIES OF CUSTOMS AUTHORITIES AS A CONDITION OF INFORMATION SECURITY

Abstract

Relevance of the topic. The competitiveness of the national economy is significantly determined by the effectiveness of the implemented customs policy and customs administration in the conditions of modern realities. The current level of activity of destructive influences aimed at destabilising the activities of Russian state bodies, including the Federal Customs Service, requires the search for productive solutions to ensure their information security. One of the factors directly affecting the stability of the work of the used information and technical means is foreign information and technical support, which often carries hidden opportunities for negative impact both on the functioning of software and hardware, and on the safety of information consolidated and processed in the process of performing the functionality of these or those state bodies and organisations. In this connection there is an objective necessity of transition to domestic software products of different functional orientation. Goal. Systematic study of the possibilities of transition of the Federal Customs Service of Russia to domestic operational systems and software products of different functional orientation, which is the most important condition for the quality protection of its internal information-technical resources and ensuring the economic security of the state. Methodology. The research methodology is based on system and process approaches. In the course of the research general scientific and special techniques and methods of cognition were used: system analysis and synthesis, induction, deduction, theoretical modelling, formal-logical method, methods of hypothesis construction, interpretation of legal concepts and normative legal acts. Results and conclusions. The authors carried out a system analysis of information resources of customs authorities of the Russian Federation from the position of information security. The prospects of implementation of the Russian software and hardware that meets the basic requirements for information security, fault tolerance, performance and speed of information processing, archiving and optimisation of stored information, quality analysis of large amounts of data in the performance of the entire functionality of customs authorities have been assessed. Scope of application. The formulated theoretical provisions can be used within the process of import substitution of software for the activities of customs authorities of the Russian Federation.
