OUTLINE:

Introduction:
 Introduce the significance of information security.
 Describe the issue of "cyber fatigue" among professionals handling
information security incidents.
 Present the problem related to the increasing volume of security alerts.
 Introduce the proposed solution: the development of a unified incident
investigation algorithm.
 Outline the structure of the paper.

Background Information
 Explain the impact of digitalization on economic activities and its
implications for information security.
 Discuss the "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" program with a
focus on information security.
 Provide an overview of information security threats leading to incidents.
 Discuss various security tools and systems used for detecting and
monitoring incidents.
 Highlight the challenge posed by the growing volume of security-related
data.

Identification of the Research Question or Hypothesis:


 Research Question: How can the challenge of "cyber fatigue" among
incident investigators be effectively addressed, considering the increasing
volume of security alerts and the need for a standardized approach to
incident handling?
 Hypothesis: Developing a unified incident investigation algorithm can
enhance the efficiency of incident handling, offer a systematic approach,
and mitigate the challenges faced by investigators.
Methods used to collect data
 Literature Review: The research likely involved an extensive review of
existing literature, encompassing studies, publications, and documents
related to information security incidents, incident management, and the
issue of cyber fatigue. This served as the foundational knowledge for the
study.

 Expert Interviews or Surveys: The authors probably conducted interviews


or surveys with information security professionals and incident response
specialists to gain insights, perspectives, and real-world experiences
pertaining to incident management, the challenges encountered, and the
necessity for a standardized algorithm.

 Case Studies: The research may have featured in-depth case studies of
actual information security incidents, both successful and unsuccessful, to
examine their handling processes, encountered difficulties, and extract
valuable insights.

 Analysis of Incident Data: If available, the paper might have entailed an


analysis of incident data from various organizations or institutions,
scrutinizing historical records of past incidents, their resolutions, and the
methodologies employed.

 Review of Regulatory Documents: To comprehend the regulatory


landscape and the significance of effective incident response, the authors
could have reviewed pertinent regulatory materials, guidelines, and
policies relating to information security and incident management.

 Expert Knowledge: Given the authors' expertise in the information


security domain and their affiliation with an academic institution, their
own knowledge and professional insights might have contributed to the
research.
Methodology used to test the problem

 Problem Identification: The research commenced by recognizing the


issue of cyber fatigue among specialists engaged in managing
information security incidents. This involved an examination of the
difficulties and challenges encountered by these professionals when
dealing with a substantial volume of incidents.

 Literature Review: A thorough review of the existing literature was


carried out to comprehend the current knowledge regarding incident
handling, incident investigation, and cyber fatigue. This review served as
a foundational understanding for addressing the problem.

 Expert Input and Interviews: It is likely that the researchers engaged with
information security specialists and experts to collect insights into the
difficulties they face. Structured interviews or discussions were likely
employed to gain an understanding of their experiences and viewpoints.

 Algorithm Development: Drawing upon the insights gathered from


experts and the literature review, an algorithm or standardized approach
for incident handling was developed. This algorithm aimed to provide a
structured and systematic process for investigating incidents.

 Validation and Testing: To validate the proposed algorithm, simulated


incident scenarios were probably employed. These scenarios could
encompass various types of security incidents. The algorithm would have
been applied to these scenarios to assess its effectiveness.

 Comparative Analysis: The research might have involved a comparison


of the outcomes achieved by using the proposed algorithm with
traditional incident handling methods. Key factors for comparison could
include response time, accuracy in identifying and mitigating incidents,
and the reduction of cyber fatigue.

 Feedback and Expert Review: Input from information security


professionals and incident responders who participated in testing the
algorithm was likely sought. Their feedback was instrumental in refining
and enhancing the algorithm's usability and effectiveness.

 Educational Application: If the algorithm had educational applications, it


might have been tested within a training or educational context. This
could involve using the algorithm to teach incident response skills and
evaluating its impact on the learning process.

 Case Studies: Analysis of real-world incident case studies and their


handling practices might have been conducted to determine how well the
algorithm aligns with actual incident response procedures and whether it
enhances the investigative process.

 Documentation and Reporting: Throughout the research, meticulous


documentation of findings, algorithm development, test results, and
feedback would have been maintained. These findings were subsequently
reported in the research paper.
