Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the role, possibilities and theoretical principles of participation of cultural scientists, theorists and cultural workers in the development and implementation of measures to counter threats associated with the use of computer technologies and Internet communications. The subject of the study is the cultural narrative of scientific publications on information security in 2021–2023. The object of the study is the current risks to traditional values and identity caused by universal digital transformation and, after the start of a Special military operation in Ukraine in 2022, the aggravation of international relations with technologically leading countries and global Internet services based in the United States. The relevance of the topic is determined, in particular, by the approval by the Russian Government on December 22, 2022 of the «Concept of formation and development of the culture of information security of citizens of the Russian Federation». The research methodology is characterized by the application of a cultural paradigm (an approach to the culture of information security as a dynamic system of human activity), structural, functional and evolutionary methods. Publications in the journals HAC K1, K2 and Scopus Q1, Q2 were used as materials. The novelty of the article lies in the study of the potential of the cultural narrative of information security in solving the problem of forming a general civil culture of information security, professional and mass. The research was carried out within the framework of the state assignment of the Moscow State Pedagogical University on the topic of research «Cultural identity in the modern world: analytical models, methods of construction and forms of presentation» (state registration number AAAA-A19-119072590048-4). The result of the study is a conclusion about the increasing share and importance of socio-cultural factors in information security in comparison with technical ones. Cultural theory and cultural studies are defined as specialized disciplines for improving both professional and civil information security culture. The cultural paradigm of information security includes a system of interaction between the profile specialization of professional and general civil, mass culture of information security. The effectiveness of the creation of specialized training for cultural scientists, theorists and cultural workers in the field of professional and mass information security culture is predicted and proved.
