Abstract

The article analyzes the state support provided by the authorities of the Russian Federation to the information technology industry from the point of ensuring national security . The authors also set a goal to identify the shortcomings of the support , based on regulatory legal acts that have been adopted over the year 2021. The study emphasizes that , despite the balanced approach of the legislator to solving key issues , such as the lack of an unambiguous understanding of some legal categories , gaps in education legislation , insufficient attention to some types of digital technologies , it is necessary to improve the efficiency of public administration and further support of the industry development . Сurrently there is a tendency in the world to tighten legislation in the field of violations in the virtual space , and many states are seeking to streamline and systematize the use of digital technologies , including big data . At the same time , of course , it is not allowed to ignore the fundamental rights and freedoms of the end user . The legislative experience of the European Union is given as an example . Special attention is paid to the need to control the process of knowledge transmission in the information sphere . The novelty and relevance of the study lies in the fact that its main provisions are considered for the first time in Russian humanitarian knowledge . The authors believe that only the question of the conceptual and categorical apparatus was previously considered by Russian specialists , but the conclusions of many researchers are already outdated . The paper also states that in the conditions of rapidly developing digital technologies , it is necessary to create importsubstituting equipment , systems and software that will reduce the digital divide , if it grows .
