BUSINESS CYBER SECURITY IN TIME OF WAR

Abstract

The article reveals the key aspects of business cyber security in wartime. It was determined that in recent years, the use of information technologies in the process of hybrid warfare caused the emergence of fundamentally new cyber threats of a higher level, which are aimed at national and international security. It was found that the spectrum of modern cyberattacks is quite diverse. The key types of cyber threats are considered, which are divided into external, targeted and internal cyber threats. Challenges for Ukraine in the field of cyber security are considered. It was established that the new era of cyber security requires completely new approaches to the management of the enterprise and its resources, in particular information. It was found that partners and suppliers can be the weak link in the company's cyber security. It has been proven that regardless of the causes of their occurrence, cyber incidents in one way or another pose a threat to the continuous activity and sustainable development of any enterprise. It was determined that the main tool for overcoming cyber attacks is the cyber protection system based on existing organizational and technological capabilities, financial and human resources, as well as the regulatory and legal basis. The system administrator is most often responsible for building the specified system at the local level. At large enterprises, the construction of a complex to counter cyber threats is already a management problem, for the solution of which it is necessary to involve specialized specialists. Regardless of the specific tools that are planned to be used, security management is carried out according to the following principles: localization of the human factor; understanding critical places and sources of danger; risk monitoring; the possibility of prompt response. Preventive measures for business cyber protection are defined. It was found that private business cyber security audits should be conducted by independent auditors, and reports should be provided to industry regulators. It has been proven that business cyber security is a continuous and extremely relevant process in modern Ukrainian realities. It is a process, since the enemy is constantly working on improving attacks, which means that we should work on improving defense. This task remains strategically important for both public institutions and private businesses.
