ІНФОРМАЦІЙНА БЕЗПЕКА УКРАЇНИ: СОЦІАЛЬНО-ФІЛОСОФСЬКІ АСПЕКТИ

Abstract

2014 was marked by dramatic changes in the European space. The destabilization of the internal political situation in Ukraine and the Russian armed aggression have led to a radical change in the current geopolitical situation not only in Europe, but also around the world. The existing security system, which had guaranteed relative stability on the European continent, was completely destroyed. New geopolitical conditions have aggravated old conflicts and activated new ones, which has significantly affected the actualization of the problem of ensuring information security in many modern states. The article is devoted to the analysis of socio-philosophical aspects of information security of Ukraine. The research methodology contains the integrative approach allowing the author to assess the information policy of Ukraine, social and humanitarian dimension of informational security. Modern society is characterized by a total increase in the influence of the information component of human existence, society and human civilization. Researchers distinguish two types of information security – information-technical and information-psychological, but today the technical and technological aspects of information security are comprehensively studied and almost no attention is paid to its socio-humanitarian aspects, i.e. information-psychological security of Ukrainian society. This is a negative trend, because the object of information and psychological influence is the mentality, consciousness and behavior of the population and military personnel, the system of forming public opinion and making socially important decisions. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the semantic dimension of information security will allow us to adequately counteract destructive information impacts on Ukrainian citizens not only by preventing the destabilization of the functioning of state institutions, political, legal, energy and socio-economic spheres of Ukrainian society, but also by professionally countering long-term attempts to ruin the spiritual unity of Ukrainian citizens, undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state. The armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine is considered as an interstate armed conflict of a neocolonial type. The problems of ensuring Information security in the context of the armed conflict in Ukraine are analyzed. The absence of national information security strategy and poor legislation are the major problems affecting the development of Ukrainian policy in the field of national security. There are arguments for the cooperation of USA, Japan and Ukraine in the field of informational security. The factors (legal, technological and socio-psychological) influencing the increase in the level of informational security should be the object of interdisciplinary research in the context of growing threats to information security are defined.
