Abstract

The field of information security covers a wide range of technical, organizational and social aspects, requiring information security specialists to take a unique and comprehensive approach to the development, support, operation, evaluation and improvement of information security management systems. An important element of successful information protection is the accurate identification and assessment of risks and vulnerabilities that may become a source of threats. In existing publications, as a rule, it is assumed that specialists have the necessary experience and knowledge to conduct risk analysis. However, in the dynamic world of information technology and threats, an information security specialist faces a huge amount of information and potential risks that are constantly evolving. Because of this, it is an impossible task to keep in mind all kinds of threats to information security. 
 The purpose is to identify actual problems of information security, potentially acting as sources of information security risk, based on the method of systematic review of the literature. Results: 73 actual problems of information security have been identified, which an information security specialist should take into account in his activities. Understanding these issues makes it possible to develop more effective protection strategies, as well as to make informed and informed decisions when developing and applying security measures.
