The article is devoted to solving the practical problem of assessing the quality characteristic of the information protection system –«usability». In the course of his/her work, the security administrator of the automated system, built in a secure execution, makes a number of technological operations restricted by regulatory and administrative documents. At this, the prompt of such operations is determined by the characteristics of the interfaces of the software modules of the information protection system (IPS). In this regard, the assessment of the quality characteristic of the IPS «usability» becomes relevant for the category of users - security administrators. A meaningful analysis of the activities of this category users of information systems showed that it is appropriate to assess the “usability” based on operational, temporal and probabilistic indicators. The methodological basis for assessing these indicators is an experimental measurement of the average execution time of each operation by a representative group of users, followed by an analytical prediction of the probability of their execution.
