constantly increasing the arsenal of cyber weapons for offensive, reconnaissance and subversive purposes, the use of which can cause irreparable, irreversible destructive consequences. These factors require a steady increase in cybersecurity capabilities by the security and defense sector. Extremely relevant threat today is intelligence and subversive activities in cyberspace against Ukraine, which is associated with the intelligence services of foreign countries, primarily the Russian Federation, intelligence activities to steal information (cyber espionage) and subversive actions to disrupt the regular operation of critical facilities information infrastructure, primarily government systems, livelihoods, electricity, transport, nuclear and chemical industries, banking (acts of cyber diversion). In Ukraine, the threat of cyberterrorism has increased significantly in recent years. First of all, this is due to the cyber capabilities of the aggressor state of the Russian Federation, which is waging a cyber war against Ukraine with the use of cyber weapons. There is the use of cyberspace to finance terrorist groups. At the same time, Ukraine's cooperation with international partners on developing mutually beneficial mechanisms to combat cyberterrorism is insufficient. The growth of cybercrime in the national segment of cyberspace is a large-scale threat that harms public information resources, social processes, personally citizens, which reduces public confidence in information technology and leads to significant material losses. The use of cyberspace for other crimes (against the foundations of national security, money laundering, trafficking in human beings, illicit trafficking in weapons, drugs and other objects and substances that threaten human life and health) is becoming more widespread. The situation is complicated by the low level of cyber literacy of the population, in particular ordinary users of electronic services. Public information resources and critical information infrastructure, which are designed to meet the vital needs of citizens, individuals, society and the state, are insufficiently protected from cyberattacks. Public authorities, when deciding on the automation of public administration processes, do not always assess the risks that arise in the cyber protection of public information resources. Protection of information and communication systems of state bodies and business entities, which process a large part of official information and personal data of citizens, does not meet the requirements of legislation, which increases the risks of interference in such systems, threatens confidentiality, integrity and availability of information (registers, databases). ), which is designed to meet the needs and ensure the constitutionally guaranteed interests of citizens, society and the state. Ukraine's high technological dependence on foreign manufacturers of ICT products and management software, lack of modern national standards on security requirements for the supply chain of relevant equipment, development of software and information and communication systems, certification or conformity assessment systems for safety of such products increase the degree of vulnerability. military, political, financial, economic and
