This thesis is dedicated to the development and implementation of an automated deployment system for secure infrastructure in a virtual environment using open source and domestic solutions. The main objective of the work is to create a program with a web interface in Python using the Django or Flask framework, which allows selecting settings for the infrastructure, and then deploying this infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible tools on pre-prepared servers with the Proxmox hypervisor installed. The work considers various cybersecurity services, including DLP systems, domain controllers, certification authorities, NGFW, Zabbix monitoring server with visualization on Grafana, Greylog log collector, as well as the possibility of using the Kaspersky antivirus server and user addition automation. All this will create a comprehensive information security system. A notable feature of this work is the use of domestic solutions for information security tools and open-source tools for their automation, making the project economically and technically accessible to a wide range of users. The obtained results can be useful for organizations wishing to effectively and reliably ensure the security of their information infrastructure with minimal costs.
