CYBER SECURITY IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSTITUENTS OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF PROTECTION IN THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The scientific and technological revolution of the early 21st century has caused profound systemic transformations around the world. First of all, due to the combination of advances in the field of advanced information and communication technologies (ICT) with the acquisitions that have emerged from the rapid development of information and telecommunications systems (ITS), fundamentally new global substances have emerged - the information society, as well as the information and cybernetic spaces they have almost unlimited potential and play a leading role in the economic and social development of every country in the world. However, due to the unprecedented proliferation of ICTs and ITSs, the world community has received not only numerous benefits, but also a number of problems caused by the growing vulnerability of the info sphere to third-party cybernetic influences. Therefore, it is only natural for the need to control and further regulate appropriate relationships, and therefore for the immediate creation of a robust cyber security system. Instead, the absence of such a system could lead to the loss of political independence of any state in the world, since it would involve the actual loss of competition by non-military means and the subordination of its national interests to the interests of the opposing party. As these circumstances play an important role in the geopolitical competition of most countries in the world recently, ensuring cybersecurity and harmony in cyberspace has become a major challenge in our information age. The article is devoted to the study of cybercrime trends, which is a threat to the information security of our country. The place and role of cyber security in the nationalist security system of the state are highlighted. The situation of the cyber defense system in the advanced countries of the world, such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom, was detailed. The main shortcomings and prospects of installing cyberspace protection have been identified. The use of modern information technologies in the state structures, as well as in the society as a whole, makes solving the problems of information security one of the main ones.
