Modern trends in the development and implementation of protection against cyberattacks are important in the fight against cyber criminals who cause great damage to the cyberspace information security (CSS) sector. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that due to the military aggression in Ukraine, the cyber environment and security are in a vulnerable state, as the methods and systems of CSS are constantly improving, and along with them, the methods of virus software for obtaining confidential and secret information by downloading malicious components are developing. The most vulnerable sector is the critical infrastructure sector, which ensures the functioning of citizens and the country as a whole by providing essential services through digital technologies. In order to identify and study threats to the CSS, the author conduct an analysis consisting of a methodology, a description of the main risks to prevent threats in the CSS system and the search for effective solutions, where the author analyse the use of antivirus software products for digital CSS systems. The urgent problem of this study is to examine potential threats and challenges to the information space and to analyse effective solutions to improve CSS in Ukraine. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the search for a methodology that, based on the analysis, will allow identifying potential threats to the BCP. This paper analyses the potential threats and challenges to the CSS system, which is substantiated by the following: the methodology for building a system protection, which consists of six main stages: modelling, analysis, planning, development, construction and operation, is considered and analysed. Based on the research, 6 different antivirus software packages were analysed, where the results showed that Kaspersky antivirus has a significant advantage in use in contrast to other antivirus software packages. Among the products, Kaspersky has the best performance, blocking 732 files with a 100% protection level without detecting errors or warnings, while Norton has the lowest performance.
