Problems of providing information security in the system of public administration
Abstract
The article analyzes the scientific approaches to the problem of providing information security of the public administration system. It was determined that information security in the system of public administration is an integral part of the national security of Ukraine, which provides protection of the public administration system from information and communication threats and challenges. The author considers information as a basis for the safe and rational development of a modern information society. At the same time, information can serve as a weapon that affects the worldview of a person, a population, forms a negative attitude to certain phenomena, to the state and society in general, distorts facts and events that affect the quality and effectiveness of modern reforms in society, etc. The main problems of ensuring information security of the public administration system are, in particular, the lack of a well-established notion of «information security»; providing an effective mechanism for the functioning of the e-governance system, which is currently not operational; formation of innovative information threats, which require urgent and effective solution; provision of training of a high-quality personnel system of public administration in the field of information security; lack of effective mechanisms for ensuring information security; the absence of institutions that will provide a comprehensive system of information security in public administration. The article notes that today information security plays a key role in ensuring the vital interests of the country and society. This is due to the rapid development of modern information and telecommunication technologies, means of communication and informatization, and as a consequence, a significant increase in the influence of the information sphere on the life of our society.
