The growing complexity of industrial systems significantly increases the surface of possible cyber attacks, and therefore requires reliable methods for assessing the security of infrastructure. Modern methods of security assessment rely on working with a large amount of data, the presentation of which is often not standardized. One of these sources is the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base, which contains information about attacking techniques in a format that allows you to interact with it programmatically. This work is aimed at solving the problem of normalizing the fields of external sources describing the attacking technique in order to increase the efficiency of working with the repository described above. The method proposed in this paper is based on the possibility of the specification of the STIX language used to describe the data presented in MITRE ATT&CK to expand and use open dictionaries. The development of the proposed method was based on data on the attacking techniques of the Enterprise matrix, as the most complete among all domains of the ATT&CK knowledge base, however, the proposed method is independent and does not depend on a specific domain.

Electroretinography is a hightly informative method for diagnosing heterogeneous diseases associated with disorders of the vascular structures. This article describes the biomedical ophthalmic signal of an electroretinogram using wavelet analysis. The spectral characteristics of the signal, the time-frequency picture of the wavelet scalogram are estimated, and approaches to the automation of signal analysis using the available Python libraries are described. The description of the formation of wavelet scalograms of signals using the cwt function of the PyWT library has been formalized. The Gaussian wavelet of the 8th order is chosen as the basic function of the wavelet transform. In order to automate the analysis of wavelet scalograms, the sequence of determining the connectivity of segments using the connectedComponents function from the library of computer vision algorithms, image processing, and general-purpose numerical algorithms with open source OpenCV is described.
