THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF INFORMATION AND CYBER SECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALISATION OF SOCIAL PROCESSES

Abstract

Aim of the study. The purpose of the study is to theoretically analyse the essence of information and cyber security in the context of the digitalisation of social processes, which involves conceptualising the philosophical, social, political, legal, ethical and technological aspects of the interaction between man, society and digital technologies in the context of threats and risks. Methodology. The dialectical method allowed us to consider social processes in the context of the digitalisation of society; the interdisciplinary approach created opportunities to combine philosophical, social, technical, political and legal aspects of the analysis of information and cyber security; the systemic approach ensured consideration of data and cyber security as a multilevel system that covers technical, organisational and social components in the context of identifying the relationships between threats, risks and security measures; the phenomenological method adjusted the need to study the processes of digitalisation of society in the context of risks and potential threats; the systemic approach ensured consideration of information and cyber security as a multilevel system that covers technical, organisational and social components in the context of identifying the relationships between threats, risks and security measures; the phenomenological method adjusted the need to study the processes of digitalisation of society in the context of risks and potential threats; The scientific novelty lies in an integrated approach to studying the impact of digitalisation on the security aspects of social processes, forecasting cyber threats and the negative effects of information challenges, improving mechanisms for ensuring information and cyber security in the digital dimension, adapting methodological approaches to digital transformations, developing information infrastructure, measures to protect against digital manipulation and disinformation within the socio-philosophical, political, legal and ethical aspects. Conclusions. As a result of the theoretical study, the author conceptualised the philosophical, social, political, legal, ethical and technological aspects of information and cyber security in the context of the digitalisation of social processes, and also predicted the mechanisms for protecting the information space from existing and possible threats in the context of modern challenges of technogenic civilisation.
