Russian business in the context of the growth of cybercrime: changes in economic behavior and protective mechanisms by S. G. Simonov, I. V. Lysenko

“…Due to the low demand of entrepreneurs for vulnerability search services in the company’s software, web applications and IT infrastructure, it is proposed to build a typical SOC that meets the most minimal standards for combating cybercrime. An algorithm has been developed to achieve them in the form of step-by-step implementation of simple organizational and methodological recommendations for the prevention of cybercrimes and minimizing their consequences for small and medium-sized businesses.…”

Influence of the Parental Family on the Trajectories of Professional Mobility of Postgraduate Students by R. G. Smirnov

“…There is proposed differentiation of students in postgraduate school into two groups (“goal-oriented” and “coincidental”), and the following conclusions are drawn: 1) at the initial stage of education, the role and importance of the parental family in the view of postgraduate students is minimal; 2) by the time of completing postgraduate studies, goal-oriented postgraduate students change their minds, recognizing the importance of the family as a supporting factor of social and professional mobility; 3) in contrast to the period of studying in graduate school the parental family becomes a significant factor of mobility in the views and perceptions of postgraduate students about professional prospects and the formation of a career trajectory.…”
