Abstract: The article outlines the model for choosing cyber security financing strategies for Smart City with no complete information about the financial resources of the attacking party. The proposed model is the core of the decision-making support system development module in the task of selecting rational investment options in the protection of information and cyber security of Smart City. The model allows to find financial solutions with the help of the tools of the theory of multistage game with several terminal surfaces. The authors propose an approach that allows information security management to pre-evaluate strategies for financing Smart City cybersecurity systems. The model distinguished by the assumption, that the defense party does not have complete information about both the financial strategies of the attacking party and the state of its financial resources aimed at overcoming the cybersecurity boundaries of the object of informatization. Considering recent cybersecurity studies, it can be argued that the tactics and strategies of the attacking party can still be diverse and, accordingly, make it difficult for the defense the task of choosing a rational strategy for financing the appropriate cyber security tools. In this case, the defense can obtain additional information at the expense of the cost of part of its financial resources. This enables a defense party to secure a positive result for themselves in case it cannot obtain it without this procedure. The solution was found using a mathematical apparatus of a nonlinear multi-stage game with several terminal surfaces with successive turns. To test the adequacy of the model, a multivariate computing experiment was conducted. The results of this experiment are described in the article. Further development of the research aim to create a complete software product, for example, a decision support system for selecting a rational financial strategy by the defense, when investing in specific Smart City cybersecurity projects.
