Improved Planning of Information Policy in the Cyber Security Sphere under Conditions of Hybrid Threats

Abstract

The study aimed to consider the current state of planning information policy in the field of cybersecurity under intensified hybrid threats, using the methods of comparison and observation. The study conducted showed that in the face of intensified hybrid threats, states must develop common approaches to implement state information policy and ensure information cybersecurity. In the face of Russia's hidden and direct aggression, governments should develop an effective system for implementing national information policies to ensure information security and introduce new state structures and mechanisms for timely detection and neutralization of threats to national interests in the sphere of information security. It concludes on the need to counter the destructive behavior of states using hybrid threats at the national and supranational levels and explains the low level of information protection in individual states and international institutions. The European Union and NATO can play a key supporting role and offer support where national responses to cybersecurity threats have proved insufficient.
