LEGAL SUPPORT AND PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF STATE POLICY IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION SECURITY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the current state of legal support for the state policy in the field of information security and the determination of conceptual directions for the development of this policy. The article summarizes the legal heritage of the Ukrainian people as reflected in the provisions of the Basic Law of Ukraine. The article examines the basis of legal support in the field of information security contained in the provisions of international treaties ratified by our state and ratified by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. In addition, the article outlines promising areas for the development of the state policy in the field of information security, which are currently being developed by international organisations in the field of information technology and are aimed at creating the latest standards for combating cybercrime and ensuring information security at the international level. It is argued that promising steps towards the development of Ukraine’s state policy in the field of information security should be an integrated approach that takes into account current challenges in the digital space to create conditions for the safe functioning of cyberspace and its use in the interests of the individual, society, and the State. It is established that international forums and centres for global cooperation on cybersecurity, which are established and operate as a global initiative for knowledge exchange to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities through cooperation between governments, international organisations, and the private sector, as well as aiming to unite the efforts of various states and organisations to improve international cooperation in cybersecurity, exchange of information, and the development of common standards, can serve as a prospective basis for public policy formation. The article summarizes the range of key areas for the development of the state policy in the field of information security.
