Every organization process information in information systems and cannot manage without the protection of organization information systems. Due to reinforcing protection of organization and investments, a need to know the level of protection exists. In order to retain the same level of protection, security assessment works should be performed regularly. However, they are complicated, performed slowly, and the results are relevant only during the assessment. The above mentioned problems can be solved constantly monitoring the network, registering the violations with the help of automated means, presenting the evaluation of the level of protection in numeric values, so that the changes in the level of security in time could be traced. Therefore, in the following work an automated mean, constantly monitoring the network and registering the violations according to the crated methodology, is created. Methodology relates organization security policy with the automated mean and provides it with the possibility to calculate the general evaluation of security considering the number and the level of risk of violations. The "Snort" tool, working in NIDS mode according to specially created rules, is chosen to register the violations. Information regarding the violations is saved in MySql data base. PHP language is applied to calculate and map the assessment of the level of security.

The controversial war in Iraq has revitalized the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the European Union (EU), which has been stagnant since Maastricht Treaty and the failure in the Balkans. The development of the CFSP is accumulating acceleration: the EU will soon have not only a common market, common institutions and a single currency, but also a common constitution, minister of foreign affairs and even a common army. The leaders of the larger states are especially enthusiastic about a stronger CFSP as a counterweight to the US dominance in the international security affairs. The authors of this article contend that clearly articulated and globally projected CFSP will not be possible unless common European interests stemming from as common European identity and implemented by common supranational institutions will emerge. The impact of the CFSP on Lithuanian foreign and security policy will depend on the pace of European integration in this area and the strength of European identity within the political elite of Lithuania and the society itself. Will this impact be of a positive nature? It will depend on the way Europe will choose: creation of an independent defence structure as an alternative to NATO or deve¬lopment of a cohesive strategic partnership with the US and NATO. In any case, Lithuania will have to constantly seek for a subtle balance between her commitments to NATO, implications of the EU membership and the strategic partnership with the US. In this.

Although US remained the strongest military power in international system after the Cold War, it was still deeply concerned how to retain its military dominance in the longer term, that could guarantee US further predominance in solving major international issues. Three US military transformation initiatives, namely the transformation of the US conventional forces, the development of missile defence systems and long-range conventional precision-strike capability, are considered as the main instruments to maintain US military dominance in the future. Considering that for Russia and China, which are perceived as the major US opponents, the US military transformation emerged as a big challenge, the research problem is formulated as an attempt to understand whether and how the US military transformation poses a threat to Russia and China's security and in turn, how this affects Russian and Chinese security policy towards the United States. Accordingly, the goal of the dissertation is to examine the impact of the US military transformation on Russian and Chinese security policy since the end of the Cold War and until 2010. The offence-defence balance theory provides the theoretical and analytical basis for the research. The results of the research have shown that US has managed to achieve an offensive advantage in the conventional offence-defence balance against Russia and China and has had a real possibility to gain such an advantage in the nuclear offense-defence balance, nevertheless US security policy has not become aggressive towards these states. As a response to the US military transformation Russia and China have been trying to gain an offensive conventional advantage, to maintain a stable nuclear offence-defence balance and to prevent US to build a foundation, allowing further US military domination.

The success of public security policy is determined not only by the competence of the relevant field officials, but also by reasonably prepared strategic plan for public security measures and its implementation. Such a plan must be prepared on a regular basis in the context of the application of public safety measures - the state of social life and trends in its development. Therefore, the article analyzes the guidelines for the study of the state of social life and trends in trends. The paradigm of social life is a set of theoretical and methodological assumptions that can be used to reveal the features of social sociality, its value status and the evolving tendencies of development. The main attention is paid to revealing the basic ideas of social life, whose interaction plays a methodological role in examining the state of social life of a particular society. They are based on three paradigms of social life - closed, open and hollow society. This methodology reveals the features of the development of the social life status of Lithuanian society. In the process of transition from the state of the sovietised closed society to a classical open society, a collage society, characterized by a distinctive cluster of closed and open society, arose. The study revealed that the emergence of a new paradigm of social life, the tendency for the formation of a hollow society, is emerging.

Over the last two years Russian and European Union, as well as Russian and Lithuanian relations became the worst since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia's annexation of Crimea peninsula and aggression in Eastern Ukraine has made a serious impact on relations with Russian and for security of the European Continent. After all, not so long ago EU and Russia was strategic partners, developed common projects and was preparing to renew a Strategic Partnership Agreement. However at this moment EU is imposing economic sanctions on Russia. At that time Moscow even not trying to accomplish Minsk agreement. Lithuania–Russia relations was consistently complicated. In 2004 Lithuania's accession to the EU made a possibility to influence and increase one's role in EU-Russian relations by using Foreign policy instruments - Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). To some purpose Lithuania is the country which criticizing Russia's actions the most in the EU. In this thesis is trying to find out Lithuanian role in forming the EU common Foreign and Security policy against Russia during the crisis in Ukraine. The aim of the thesis – by using European integration theories to analyze Lithuanian role of the formation of the EU common Foreign and Security policy against Russian Federation in 2014-2015. The first part of the thesis is written about the European integration theories. By using these theories in this thesis is trying to present the main ideas and postulates of the European integration. The second part of the thesis is written about the Common Foreign and Security Policy historical development. Also in this part of the thesis is identifying the national States role in CFSP decision making. It is important to mention that in this part of the thesis is trying to find out why the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy is not that effective and common. The third part of the thesis is written about Lithuanian foreign policy towards Russia since 1990 to present day. Also in this part is analyzing the main three phases of the Lithuanian foreign policy towards Russia. The last part of the thesis is analyzing Lithuanian representatives in the European Parliament, President Dalia Grybauskaitė and Minister of Foreign Affairs Linas Linkevičius official discourse towards Russia in 2014-2015.
