Methodological Problems Concerning Concept’s Formation of the National Cybersecurity in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The development of information technologies and the widespread digitalisation of many life factors needs an individual’s information security in the digital space. Also, it indicates the need to develop a system of control over this space. This article discusses the main problems concerning the Russian national cybersecurity policy concept. The authors note that two multidirectional trends influence the implementation of the security policy and the protection of information resources and data. First, it is the lack of a clear definition of the Internet space and its boundaries in the legislative framework. Second, the significant interest of the public sector in the independence and security of this space from possible threats and attacks. The formation of the concept of national interest in the field of cybersecurity leads to the solution of several tasks at once, both in the internal domain of digital presence and in the international arena. The authors provide several fundamental terms that will be interesting and necessary for further research in this direction. We have drawn attention to the insufficient terminological elaboration of this topic.
