Abstract:
The present research is a comprehensive analysis of the current state of cybercrime and its impact on national security. The focus is on identifying key threats in the digital space and developing strategies to prevent and counteract them in order to ensure state security. The research objectives include the analysis of the dynamics and evolution of cybercrime, the assessment of its impact on various aspects of national security, including information, economic and military spheres, and the development of strategies and methods for public and private entities to counter cyber threats. The methods of analyzing network interactions and the information approach with an emphasis on existing information actors were used in the research. The research has shown that cybercrime is constantly evolving, which is related to the emergence of new IT technologies and an increase in the number of users involved in information processes. The major categories of crimes are identified: illegal downloading or use of software, fraud and attacks exploiting vulnerabilities of systems. The necessity of joint efforts of various subjects in cybersecurity is also noted with a special emphasis on the role of the state. The academic paper emphasizes that cybersecurity in public governance is achieved through the unification of data exchange methods, using transport protocols such as HTTP. The study of information confrontation requires a detailed analysis of the main areas of cyber defense, including strategies for countering public governance systems, information and intelligence activities, electronic warfare, psychological confrontation, hacker operations, cyber and network warfare, economic information warfare and international information terrorism. The academic paper emphasizes that international information terrorism in the era of information confrontation is gaining new importance, in particular, due to the use of the information structure by terrorists to form network methods and influence information infrastructure facilities.
Highlights
- The escalating complexity and sophistication of cybercrimes, coupled with the growing number of Internet users and mobile devices, underscore the urgent need for comprehensive, state-led cybersecurity measures that go beyond traditional approaches to address evolving threats in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
