Institutional and legal model for the formation and implementation of the state policy of combating cybercrime

Abstract

The development of digital technologies has significantly transformed the entire sphere of public life, while at the same time leading to a rapid growth in cybercrime, a phenomenon that includes cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, financial systems, government agencies and the private sector, which has become one of the key challenges of our time. Effective counteraction to cybercrime requires not only the improvement of technical solutions, but also the formation of a coherent institutional and legal model that combines legislative, organisational and managerial mechanisms. The article deals with the issues of forming and implementing the State policy of combating cybercrime on the basis of the institutional and legal approach. The author identifies the main elements of the model for the formation and implementation of the state policy of combating cybercrime, in particular, the legislative framework, the system of coordination between cybersecurity actors, and the mechanisms of international cooperation. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of national approaches to countering cyber threats. The author emphasises the need to strengthen legal and regulatory frameworks, develop a national cybersecurity strategy, and introduce modern information security technologies. A single coordinating body has been established to monitor and respond to cyberattacks, as well as to intensify international cooperation to share experience and counter transnational cybercrime.
