ABSTRACT. The necessity of ensuring the security of digital infrastructure from cyber attacks grows every day and becomes the topical issue of nowadays. Cyber crime develops very quickly and has various different types and forms. Among the most widespread cyber attacks are those which aimed to steal or gain unauthorized access, block the access to the work files, stealing of the personal data, spreading viruses in computer systems and networks, extorting money and so on.

Cybercrime tends to grow not only every year, but also every day. Therefore, it is important to ensure the security of digital infrastructure. Cyber security has an important priority for the national security system of Ukraine. Providing reliable protection of the national cyber security system and resistance to any cyber threats must be ensured on a permanent basis and with the use of accumulated practical experience of other leading developed countries in this important matter.

The rapid development of information technology has become a significant postulate for the creation of new ways of cyber security, which is caused by the situation of a new technological level. The distribution of spheres of influence in cyberspace is constantly increasing. The ability of the state to protect its national interests is a priority component of each country’s cyber security. Establishment of the “cyberforces” in the state will significantly contribute to effective protection of information infrastructure from possible cyber attacks, reliable protection against intrusion into the national information space, as well as the control of enemy’ information systems and their destruction.

Cyberterrorism and cyber-sabotage have become even more pronounced during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The hybrid war against Ukraine with the use of cyber warfare, information technologies and mechanisms caused real threats not only to Ukrainian but to international cyber security as well. Cyber intelligence activities in cyberspace are part of the hybrid warfare against Ukraine.

The Ukrainian people, who made their European integration choice and now continue to defend their rights for freedom and independence in this war. In June 2022, Ukraine was granted the status of a candidate for joining the European Union, and this aspiration of the Ukrainian people was supported at the pan-European level.

Keywords: cyber security, protection of personal data, economic crimes, unauthorized access, confidentiality of information.
