Type: article
Abstract: The article highlights the main theoretical aspects of formation of information security, which is an integral component of the national security of the State. It is determined that modern technological and informational changes in society create an urgent need for the development of effective mechanisms to protect informational resources that can ensure the stability of the functioning of governmental institutions. Key threats associated with information security are examined, such as the concentration of informational influence in the hands of certain entities, the dissemination of unreliable information, unauthorized access to confidential data, and disruptions to the operation of critical information systems. An analysis has been conducted on existing approaches to ensuring information security, which rely on a comprehensive approach that systematically covers the identification of key threats, risk assessment, development of counter-strategies, and the establishment of multi-level monitoring systems for the detection and elimination of potential threats. The necessity of enhancing the legal framework in light of contemporary challenges in the information space has been substantiated, emphasizing its adaptation to international standards. It is important to ensure a balance between the freedom of information exchange and the protection of national interests. Special attention has been paid to the regulation of issues related to the protection of confidential information and ensuring transparency in the field of information activities. Organizational and methodological foundations have been developed for the creation of a unified State system of information security, taking into account the multidimensional nature of the modern information space and the complexity of potential threats. The use of international experience is proposed as a basis for establishing an effective national information security management system. Based on the conducted research, recommendations have been formulated for the development of a national information security strategy that integrates technological, legal, and organizational aspects. The proposed approaches aim to enhance the State’s resilience to contemporary information challenges and strengthen its position in the global information environment.
