Trends and perspectives of provision of cybersecurity in Russia

Abstract

One of the topical problems of the world community at present is the rapid large-scale growth of global cybercrime observed over the past thirty years. Nowadays particularly dangerous for subjects of the Russian economy today are: attacks on critical information infrastructures; cryptojacking; the growing number of DDoS attacks on websites of Russian organizations; threats associated with the functioning of the dark web. In Russia an effective national cybersecurity system has been created and is successfully functioning. However, in order to effectively counter the growing cybercrime, which is largely transborder in nature, its further development and improvement are necessary, taking into account new challenges and threats in the global information space. It is expedient to strengthen cooperation between the Russian Federation and foreign partners in the field of information security, including for the purpose of establishing an effectively functioning international legal regime for ensuring security in the field of using information and communication technologies. At present, it is advisable to adopt, under the auspices of the United Nations, an international code of conduct in the cybersphere, recognized by the entire world community.
