Summary
We live in an information age when the access to the necessary data can be obtained in the shortest possible time anywhere in the world. The information age has made possible rapid global communications and the existence of information networks, which has significantly changed the essence of modern society. This does not mean that we always have access to quality and truthful information; the large amount of data creates favorable conditions for abuse (spam, flood), and the use of the latest computer technology threatens the security of many governmental and non-governmental enterprises, institutions and organizations. Information security is an extremely important issue today This is due to the rapid development of information technology, mass computerization of the population, the active use of Internet resources, the creation of new software products, the emergence of web storage for data (Dropbox, Icloud drive, etc.), etc. It is necessary to protect the interests of all participants in the information relationship and to prevent violations or restrictions of their rights
