PROBLEMS OF LEGAL REGULATION OF THE INFORMATION SECURITY SYSTEM IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article highlights the current problems of legal regulation of the information security system of Ukraine and suggests ways to overcome them. Emphasis is made on the fact that information threats (a growing number of large-scale disinformation campaigns, information wars that threaten Ukraine ’ s democracy and sovereignty, a significant strengthening of the role of social networks and their influence in cyberspace, cybercrime, cyberterrorism, etc.) pose a number of global challenges. Under such conditions, the formation of an information security system is a necessary condition for the existence of a modern information society. The main scientific approaches to the formation of regulatory and legal support of the information security system of Ukraine are considered. The analysis of the concept of information security system is carried out and the main information threats are considered. It is noted that information security is an important component of national security. The article analyzes the current national legislation governing the field of information security. It is noted that the mechanism of legal regulation of information security, in general, corresponds to international standards, principles, and norms of democracy. However, the rapid development of information technology and growing threats to Ukraine ’ s national security determine the need for continuous improvement of the regulatory framework. The main shortcomings of the legislation in the field of information security are analyzed. It is concluded that in order to improve the legal regulation of the information security system, clear structuring of the regulatory system, elimination of legislative gaps, and generalization of legal information security principles, it is necessary to codify information legislation. The formation of the national legal framework of the information security system will help strengthen the national security of our state and strengthen guarantees of respect for human and civil rights and freedoms. of without of in
