THE FRAMEWORK OF INFORMATION SECURITY IN E-GOVERNANCE SYSTEM

Abstract

The digital transformation of governance has underscored the critical importance of information security within e-governance systems, juxtaposed against an ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. This article explores the framework of information security in e-governance, focusing on the multifaceted challenges and strategies pivotal for safeguarding digital government services. It emphasizes the dual-edged nature of digital technologies, which, while driving progress and innovation, also spawn sophisticated threats such as cybercrime, spyware, data breaches, and information warfare. A comprehensive approach, integrating legislative, organizational, technical, and educational tools, is advocated to fortify the information space against these threats. The paper provides analysis of existing and potential cyber threats, underscoring the necessity for a dynamic, responsive information security policy that encompasses continuous development and international cooperation. By delving into the Ukrainian context, the article highlights the efforts and challenges in aligning national e-governance information security measures with international standards, illustrating the critical roles played by various governmental bodies in implementing these strategies. This scholarly narrative contributes to the academic and practical discourse on enhancing e-governance information security, offering insights into effective measures for protecting information assets and ensuring the resilience of digital governance systems against global cyber challenges.
