Formation of professional competencies of specialists for ensuring information security in radiotelecommunication systems

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to increase the effectiveness of training specialists to ensure information security in radiotelecommunication systems due to the growing number and complexity of modern cyber threats. This necessitates the implementation of educational programs aimed at developing professional competencies for the protection of information resources and ensuring information resilience. The purpose of the study is to identify key aspects of forming professional competencies of information security specialists and to develop scientifically grounded recommendations for improving educational programs in the field of radiotelecommunication systems. The study employs methods of scientific literature analysis, generalization of educational programs from leading institutions, and evaluation of challenges related to the technical training of information security learners. The results of the study found that modern educational programs contain fundamental disciplines, but do not sufficiently cover practical modules on penetration testing, network traffic analysis, and risk management. It was revealed that the use of threat monitoring tools and training platforms for working with complex information systems is limited. Moreover, educational courses on IoT device security and response to multi-level attacks are underrepresented. The study highlights the importance of implementing modern educational solutions for training specialists capable of operating in critical information infrastructures. The conclusions justify the need to introduce courses involving SIEM systems and other automated threat monitoring tools, conduct practical training in specialized software environments, and update curricula to align with modern information security standards. The prospects for further research include assessing the outcomes of these measures and developing intelligent systems to support the learning process, ensuring an adaptive approach to forming professional competencies in the field of information security.
