Ensuring the Security of the Digital Space from Cyberterrorist Threats

The purpose of this study is to study the possibilities of ensuring the security of the digital space from cyberterrorist threats.

The main feature of cybercrimes is the isolation of the criminal from the crime scene. Thus, he can be anywhere in the world, and commit a crime in another. The Internet erases boundaries and time gaps. Some scientists are of the opinion that it is possible to achieve effectiveness from international cooperation only if not individual countries, but at least all developed countries take part in it.

It is established that in order to ensure information security at the national level, it will be necessary to adopt an effective system that will make it possible to use comprehensive measures, as well as to act jointly with foreign states. The measures should be aimed at joint confrontation with terrorists. It is important that these measures allow not only to eliminate the consequences of crimes, but also to prevent them in time. This will require the systematic development and justification of methods to combat cybercrime. To protect information in cyberspace, regulation of IT networks at the state level is currently relevant. This will help to ensure high security and increase the capabilities of law enforcement agencies in the fight against cyberterrorism.

It is concluded that the Russian legislative framework regarding cybercrime is only being formed. This is due not only to the growth of cybercrime as such, but also to the fact that this phenomenon has appeared relatively recently, and the law has to make up for the difference. The social relations in which cyberspace is involved are actively developing, they are used in almost all spheres of life, which is why domestic cybercrime researchers say that accelerated development of the regulatory framework is necessary.
