Information security as a special state

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of national and international information security. It is part of general international security and, at the corresponding level, a branch of national security. The latest threats led to the fact that regional international organizations, such as the EU and military-political organizations - NATO, began to take care of the mentioned issue.Information sovereignty is the supremacy of the state in the information sphere on its own territory. As well as the opportunity to freely and independently provide objective information about the peculiarities of internal and external policy and events within the state to the outside world.The supremacy of the state in the information sphere means the regulation of information activities aimed at ensuring the security and protection of the economic and social interests of the state, society, rights and legitimate interests, human life and health. This is done through the legislative establishment and control of licensing or other conditions of such activity. The implementation of conditions for information activity must ensure compliance with the principles of freedom of expression of views and beliefs, freedom of distribution, exchange and receipt of information, right to information, openness and availability of information, reliability and completeness of information, protection of a person from interference in his personal and family life.Ensuring information security in the state directly affects the economic, military and political spheres of its life. Legal uncertainty at the global level and the lack of unified positions forces state governments to form digital security policies at the national level.The informational component is a part of modern hybrid wars – both as a cover and as a means of direct influence on the enemy.Information security should be understood as a state in which, with the help of national and international resources, protection against informational influence on the consciousness of individuals and society is ensured, and informational influence on decision-making by state institutions is prevented. As well as the inviolability of private and state digital databases, the possibility of their quick recovery in the event of illegal encroachment and ensuring the punishment of perpetrators is guaranteed.At the international level, the state of information security involves protection against informational influence on public consciousness and decision-making by states and international organizations. As well as the inviolability of private, state and international digital databases, the possibility of their quick recovery in case of illegal encroachment and ensuring the punishment of the subjects of illegal encroachments.
