Over the past few decades, there has been a tendency to minimize the participation of the human factor in various production and other processes. This process is implemented through the mass introduction of automated systems (as). Human-machine complexes are currently the most common and productive model of activity. At the current stage of technology development, the process of automating human activity is only an intermediate link on the way to eliminating human intervention. This area is most relevant for systems that pose a potential and real threat to human health and life (for example, manufacturing plants) or systems that are threatened by humans (for example, transport systems). The second group includes the sphere of information security. The paper considers the basics of the organization of adaptive information protection systems, their application areas for information protection and methods of building models of adaptive information protection systems in the context of their application for protection against leakage through technical channels. The authors propose a generalized model of the adaptive information protection system against leakage through technical channels.
