Unified method of modeling and optimization of guarding activities

The preservation of material values carried out by security organizations requires scientific research and justification of the decisions taken. From the analysis of scientific research, it is concluded that currently approaches to modeling and optimizing individual processes of security activities are diverse and use different sets of indicators to assess their effectiveness. The subject of the research covered in the article is the method of modeling guarding activities. The purpose of the work is to develop a unified modeling method, the fundamental result of which is to ensure the functioning of the security organization as a whole. The research uses methods of studying, comparing and analyzing existing approaches to modeling security activities, generalizing and formalizing the results of previous studies. In the work, the decomposition of security activities into processes is carried out, the stages of providing security services are highlighted, their content and meaning are shown. It is proposed to introduce a target function of security activities that takes into account the risks of individual processes. Examples of the formalization of the objective function for the processes of monitoring and responding to signal information are given, allowing the formulation of optimization tasks. Conclusions are drawn about the universality and necessity of applying the proposed modeling method and criteria for optimizing the functioning of security organizations. The results of the study are a unified method of modeling security activities and formalization of the tasks of optimizing the risk of individual processes of security activities.
