State information security strategies in conditions of hybrid threats
Keywords:
information security, threat, strategy, cyberspace, disinformation.
Abstract
Hybrid information threats under the conditions of modern development of digital technologies are currently becoming one of the major issues for a modern democracy. The amount of damage that hybrid threats bring to the world economy contributes to the establishment of effective legal mechanisms to combat them. The purpose of the study was to single out the information security strategies under conditions of hybrid threats, including the spread of disinformation and fake news. The application of the comparative analysis method mad it possible to identify the gaps in information security strategies for countering hybrid threats. The strategy of information security in the conditions of hybrid threats is a coordinated action plan aimed at countering and fighting hybrid threats to safeguard cyberspace and preserve a democracy. Information security against hybrid threats is based on such cornerstones as: availability, confidentiality, integrity of information data, and safety. Enhancement of information security under the conditions of hybrid threats should be carried out at the expense of digital transformation, increasing the level of digital literacy of society and establishing a fair responsibility measure for a purposeful spreading of disinformation. The perspective of further research is addressing information security strategies as well as elaborating practical guidelines for the formation of a secure information space.
