Abstract: An abstract model of the effects of malicious software is proposed. It allows you to identify objects in your computer system that may be affected by malicious software and computer attacks. It was used to develop a new method of ensuring the resilience of specialized IT in the face of malware and computer attacks. The resulting abstract model makes it possible to detail the objects for influences and possible consequences, which becomes the basis for the development of methods that will ensure fault tolerance, survivability of information systems and protection of information in information systems from such influences. The abstract model is the basis for the creation of specialized IT, the stable operation of which is possible under the influence of malicious software and computer attacks. Also, this model may include a feature that will be the distribution of computer system objects in the computer network and components of specialized IT. The application of the developed method is implemented in the system. It has mechanisms for restructuring and uses redundancies. The step of the developed method has features that are parametric control of the integrity of program files. Then, it is possible to apply it to a group of program files. These files do not have a fixed checksum and, therefore, the method extends the capabilities of the known method of detecting malicious software. The developed method provides the possibility of independent restructuring of information systems in the process of functioning with the involvement of hardware and software. In the process of restructuring information systems, the implementation of the specified functions continues. Thus, the method of ensuring the resilience of IT in the face of malicious software and computer attacks allows you to expand the capabilities of the IP in terms of its adaptability and, accordingly, the automatic change of hardware and software configuration. In addition, the steps of the developed method integrated two ways to ensure IT resilience: attracting redundancy; attracting excesses. This integration is combined with the adaptability of information systems. Research of the method developed a method of evaluating the effectiveness of redundancies and redundancy. Experimental researches and estimation calculations are carried out. They confirmed the effectiveness of the developed method of ensuring the resilience of IT in the face of malware and computer attacks.
