Abstract

The subject of this article is the normative legal acts of the Russian Federation in the field of information security, as well as the theoretical positions of modern researchers on the legal provision of information security in the Russian Federation. The modern legislation of the Russian Federation on information security issues is analyzed in detail, while special attention is paid to the consideration of regulatory legal acts that ensure Internet governance, which is one of the most important areas of development of legislation in this area. The most important aspects of information security that attract research interest, approaches to solving existing problems in this area are identified. The analysis of the norms of information legislation and the systematization of the material is based on the formal-logical method. The comparative legal method allowed us to identify current trends in the development of legislation in this area, and the prognostic method allowed us to determine the prospects for the development of legislation aimed at creating a system of effective legal provision of information security in the Russian Federation. The article presents the author's reasoned position on the problems of legal provision of information security and the prospects for their solution in the current international situation. The conclusions obtained as a result of the study allow us to speak about the prematurity of codification of legislation in the field of information security, at the same time, the need for systematic movement in a given direction. Conclusions are drawn that today the Russian Federation continues to pursue a policy in the field of information security, which defends the sovereign information space, and also initiates the activity of the world community aimed at creating effective mechanisms for ensuring international information security through the activities of international organizations and expanding the coverage of international law.
