LEGAL MECHANISMS FOR ENSURING INFORMATION SECURITY IN UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF HYBRID WAR

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of legal regulation of information security in Ukraine compared to some foreign countries legislative practices. Based on the analysis, the main problems of legislative regulation of information security are identified, which are common for many countries around the world. These problems include discrepancies in international rules of behavior in cyberspace, which do not allow to apply legal mechanisms for joint action effectively, as well as inconsistency of responsibilities for violations of information security in conditions of hybrid warfare. The authors also identify the peculiarities of legal regulation of information security and ways to solve these problems, which include the development and implementation of legislative provisions regulating activities on the Internet, including the national segment, and special requirements for network providers and other subjects that ensure the functioning of the network in conditions of war. The results of research on normative and legal support for information security in the conditions of hybrid warfare indicate the need to apply a systematic approach to the improvement of legislation in this direction. There is a need for legislative consolidation of special information security mechanisms to implement complex measures aimed at preventing cyberattacks and negative information influences on society; strengthening responsibility for cybercrime, abuse and neglect of information security measures; legislative consolidation of mechanisms for legal regulation of information relations in cyberspace; reinforcing cooperation with the international community to counteract information threats. It is proposed to take into account factors to ensure effective regulatory support in the context of a hybrid war. The necessity of conducting scientific research on the development of proposals for improving domestic legislation on the basis of international agreements and the implementation of their provisions in domestic legislation regarding information security is determined.
