Abstract

Abstract. The article examines the main legal threats and risks of citizens’ information security. Regulatory and legal mechanisms for managing the level of information security of society during martial law and peacetime have been established. A comparison of the action of the relevant mechanisms was carried out, which made it possible to compare the administrative and legal risks depending on the conditions (wartime or peacetime). The subjects of ensuring information security of civil society, as well as the normative and legal provisions regulating their activities, have been determined. A study of ways to minimize negative information impacts was conducted, in particular: legal protection of the rights and freedoms of information use was considered; administrative and legal protection of information needs of citizens and their interests in the information space by territorial and departmental security bodies; administrative and legal protection of professional, personal and family secrets using technical means of protection. The study was conducted with the aim of improving the current legal norms aimed at protecting the rights of citizens to freedom of speech, protection of personal data, and their own information needs, which are defined by the Laws of Ukraine: «On Information», «On Protection of Personal Data», «On Protection of Information in Information -communication systems», «On citizens’ appeals», «On access to public information» under martial law. A study of risks and threats in the field of information security in cyberspace was conducted, which made it possible to identify important areas of improvement of the current legal norms during martial law. The effect of regulatory mechanisms of personal data protection in wartime is analyzed.
