MEASURES OF STATE IN THE SPHERE OF INFORMATION SECURITY

Abstract

The role of the state in the formation of the information society and information security is determined. Information security is considered from the standpoint of one of the essential components of national security, which is guaranteed through the consistent implementation of an effective national information strategy and greatly contributes to success in solving problems in all spheres of society. Information threats to national security in terms of impact on the information infrastructure of the country, information resources, society, consciousness, the subconscious of the individual are identified. The key concepts and essentials of the state information policy in the field of information security are considered. The activity of the state in the information sphere is analyzed. The main directions of the state activity in the field of information security are determined. Conceptual approaches to guaranteeing information security are proposed. Given that the problem of ensuring the continuity of the functioning of the information security system of the state is of key importance, the priority is to create/update the main areas of the national security system protection in the information sphere. The search for solutions should be accentuated by the balance of the cost of such a protection system and its effectiveness. In order to implement this strategy in practice, a special state body integrated into the vertical of executive power should be created, which would carry out its practical implementation and which, in addition to the implementation function, should be tasked with launching the process of building an integrated system of state information security, control over its implementation and formulation of new strategies taking into account radi-cal changes in the geostrategic positions of Ukraine.
