Abstract

The article studies urgent issues of the legal regulation of cyber security in Ukraine in view of current challenges. It is stated that under conditions of intensification of cyberattacks on the information and telecommunication systems of the state authorities of Ukraine, computer networks need reliable protection. It was determined that cyberattack and cyberterrorism are negative phenomena that cause social crises, so research and analysis of Ukrainian legislation on cybersecurity is extremely important and necessary. Due to the rapid growth of cyber risks and cyber threats, it is important to monitor the current state of cybersecurity in our country, highlight the main problems of building a national cyber defense system and identify areas for their solution. This requires an analysis of the measures that have been implemented in the field of protection of computer and telecommunications networks from cyberattacks, as well as the definition of measures needed to be implemented to create conditions for the safe operation of cyberspace. The study reveals significant political, economic and social efforts aimed to strengthen cyber resilience, which the state is making to develop national cybersecurity capabilities. Considering the purpose and objectives of the scientific article, the authors have studied in detail the legal aspect. As a result of scientific research, it has been established that the legal regulation of cyber security in Ukraine is carried out by normative acts of various legal force: the Constitution of Ukraine, laws and regulations of Ukraine. The Constitution of Ukraine contains initial provisions on the organization of security of both the national cyberspace as a whole and the virtual space of public authorities of Ukraine, which are reflected in the laws as well as normative and legal regulations of Ukraine. Analysis of the current legislation in the field of cyber security has revealed some of its imperfections. It has been found that effective cybersecurity needs to be addressed comprehensively and requires coordinated action at the national, regional and international levels to prevent, prepare, and respond to the incidents by the government, the private sector and civil society. © 2022, Berostav Druzstvo.

Concluding remarks
In times of war, the problem of guaranteeing information security through the spread of various types of cyber threats becomes a matter of the national security, the issue of every citizen and society as a whole, so it is a strategic problem of the state that requires a comprehensive system to support cybersecurity and information sovereignty, establish strategic communication of the subjects of the national cybersecurity system, build capabilities to counter cyber threats, form appropriate infrastructure of the domestic information space. The legislator is obliged to pursue a policy of anticipation and immediate response to the dynamic changes taking place in cyberspace, to develop and implement effective means and tools of possible response to aggression in cyberspace, which can be used as a means of deterring military conflicts and threats in cyberspace. Under conditions of globalization of cyber threats, it is reasonable to unify approaches to legal regulation in the field of cybersecurity and standardize security measures for effective cooperation and coordination of efforts at the national and international levels. Aspirations of Ukraine for the European integration oblige to improve national legislation in the field of cybersecurity, taking into account the terms of the Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the EU and Member States, on the other. Implementing the experience and best practices of EU countries and NATO standards should be a priority. It should be noted that the problem of effective cybersecurity will be solved only through the coordinated action at the national, regional and international levels, so in our opinion it is an indisputable fact that today laws must meet the requirements of the modern level of technology development.
