ACTIVITIES OF CYBER SECURITY BODIES IN UKRAINE AS A DIRECTION OF PREVENTING AND COMBATING VIOLENCE IN THE STATE

Abstract

The legislative definition of cyber security in Ukraine and statistical data on this issue are presented. It is noted that there is a low number of scientific works on this issue. The main causes of cybercrime are identified. The reasons for the gaps in the normative and legal regulation of the issue of ensuring cyber security in Ukraine are presented. The psychological, social and economic aspects of the above are highlighted. It is noted that cyber security is a broader term than cyber defense. The system of cyber security entities in Ukraine is presented. The levels of cyber security enforcement entities in Ukraine have been determined. A list of special entities in the field of cyber security in Ukraine is provided. The structural elements of the mechanism of combating and preventing cybercrime are defined. The low number of scientific works and studies in the field of implementation of the cyber security mechanism in Ukraine was noted. A conclusion was made regarding the international experience of preventing and countering violence in the field of cybercrime. It was concluded that the lack of a proper mechanism for countering and preventing cyber security in Ukraine leads to the emergence and spread of psychological, economic, sexual, and physical violence, which is a threat to the functioning of the legal Ukrainian state and the development of civil society. A proposal has been submitted for cyber security workers to receive higher education in special educational institutions and, if necessary, take special courses. Attention was drawn to the fact that the educational direction of training cyber security workers, taking into account the rate of growth of cybercrime in Ukraine, in today’s conditions should be carried out taking into account the material needs of society and the capabilities of their citizens. It is proposed to note that proper economic and social development of states and society contributes to the absence of high rates of cybercrime.
