Mechanisms of state regulation of information security in the economy

in the context of global digitalization, information resources are becoming a key factor in the country's economic development. Ensuring information security is becoming one of the main objectives of national economic policy. The purpose of the study is to analyze the mechanisms of state regulation of information security in the economy and develop recommendations for improving existing approaches to information protection in the context of digitalization. Materials and methods: the research is based on a comprehensive analysis of scientific articles, legislative acts and reports of government agencies. The methods of literary review, comparative analysis and analysis of statistical data are used. Results and discussions: the analysis showed a significant increase in cybercrime in Russia, with an increase in the number of digital offenses from 175 thousand in 2018 to 765.4 thousand in early 2024. The main goals of cybercriminals include stealing confidential data and attacking critical infrastructure. The study revealed the shortcomings of existing security measures and the need to create an integrated information security system, including government regulation and innovative technologies. It was also noted that the active use of modern technologies by attackers, such as neural networks, to optimize attack methods requires the government and business to respond more flexibly and promptly to emerging threats. The recommendations proposed by the authors in the course of the study are aimed at creating an effective cyber data protection system. Conclusions: to increase the effectiveness of state regulation of information security, it is necessary to improve the regulatory framework, regular training of personnel, the introduction of comprehensive protection mechanisms and active financing of research in the field of cybersecurity. The joint efforts of legislative bodies, educational institutions, and businesses are key to reliably protecting economic infrastructure from cyber threats.
