Relevance. The cybersecurity of information systems and services is becoming one of the important criteria for the quality of services and production of goods in modern society, just like the stability and speed of data transfer. Developers of software products and applications are concerned about the increase in the number of attacks on their systems, the increase in the theft of information and assets. The confrontation between Russia and NATO countries has intensified the growth of geopolitical threats and hacker intrusions into the information system of Russia with the aim of destabilizing and deactivating it. At the same time, Rostelecom-Solar noted that hackers are especially attracted to the critical infrastructure of the Russian economy. The purpose of the study was to evaluate modern technologies for protecting digital services used by companies and to identify new approaches to strengthening security systems. Objectives. The following tasks were set and consistently solved in the article: to assess the current trends in the transformation of information systems, as well as objects of critical information infrastructure in the light of the increasing attacks of hackers; propose a new approach to solving cybersecurity problems. Methodology. The methods of graphical, horizontal and logical analysis, generalization and systematization of data were used in the work. Results. Based on a general review of technologies for protecting critical infrastructure, both from the side of the state and from the side of business, it was concluded that it is necessary to form a triad of visibility of vulnerabilities. Conclusions. The article considers the directions of restructuring the entire cyber industry and the formation of a new vector for the development of the digital world in the context of changing geopolitical confrontations between developed powers. It is concluded that it is necessary to change the paradigm of the technology market in the direction of transferring all programs to Russian technologies and intensifying their promotion to the EAEU countries, which will allow building a new Eurasian IT market under the guidance of the Russian Federation.
