The research is devoted to the study of the personal security level in the information and communication environment. The purpose of this work is to determine the citizens’ subjective opinion about the information security level in the information and communication environment and the role of the state in these processes. The study is based on data of sociological survey conducted in 2019 among the population of the Kursk region as a subject of the Russian Federation. The sample included 1000 respondents aged 16 and over living in urban and rural settlements in the region. Based on the understanding of the information and communication environment as an anthropo- sociotechnical phenomenon, the author concludes that personality is one of the key elements of information security in the triad (man — communications — technology). The study has fixed that users assess their life in the information and communication environment as dangerous. But at the same time, despite the fact that citizens face with the attackers’ actions, a significant part of them are in no hurry to recognize the Internet as criminal. The study has determined that issues of personal cybersecurity and self-reliance prevail over paternalism. Network users should not only be aware of possible types and schemes of fraud, but also of software protection methods and anti-virus products.

The development of the Internet and the absence of national bounderies in cyberspace constantly challenge the role of the state in the new information and communication environment. On the one hand, this new environment challenges the former power of the state stemming from the exclusivity of its territoriality. On the other hand, the role of the state may be observed as being changed but it is certainly not inconsequential. Numerous examples from the past decade testify to the fact that the state still has the power to control its Internet-mediated information and communication environment. In response to the contemporary developments, it has been necessary to introduce conceptual changes. Thus, the term system has been replaced with the term environment; the conceptual framework of strict control through regulation has been replaced with the term management. Although the role of the state has changed, the state still has the central position in the new information and communication environment. The aim of this paper is address the research question: How has the role of the state changed in the new information and communications environment?

The arrival of information and communication technologies is nothing new. The number of people using these technologies and moving in cyberspace is growing, and therefore it is an important role of the state to respond sufficiently to such developments. A fundamental role of the state is to create a stable security system consisting of complex legislation as well as creation of a legislative environment capable of responding flexibly to the growing number of diverse incidents in cyberspace. Sufficient legal regulation consisting of unambiguous determination of competencies and tasks of individual subjects represents the basic pillar for the creation of a stable security system. The role of the state is also to maintain existing and create new partnerships with organizations that are able to provide relevant information and knowledge in the field of cyber security.

The article reveals the content of the destructive influence of Western countries on the communication regimes and information space of the friendly Central Asian states, which poses a threat to their national security and contradicts the national interests of the Russian Federation. The importance of joint efforts with the states of the Central Asian region, including those in the format of the SCO and CSTO regional organizations, to ensure information security and a positive impact on the communication regimes of this region is noted. Attention is drawn to the role of national mass media in the arsenal of tools for influencing the minds and psychology of the population of Central Asian countries and in this regard gives a description of Western information structures that exercise such influence, the mechanisms of their functioning and the way to neutralize their activities. The dynamism of the matter under study and its subjection to changes in the balance of power in the international arena are noted. The role of the state in ensuring information security and protecting citizens from distorted information and communication influence is analyzed separately. The paper suggests considerations regarding the organization of a systematic counteraction to the destructive actions of individual states in the information field of countries in Central Asia, in particular, it suggests the need to create a comprehensive system, together with the Russian Federation, to block and neutralize malicious information and propaganda materials, and also a proposal regarding the creation of a global communication order based on the formation of an international legal framework for rational civilized regulation of country communication regimes at the global and regional levels.

Introduction. One of the components of the national security of the Russian Federation is information security. In the context of the information society in the Russian Federation, the role of the information component of national security has increased significantly. There are new challenges and threats to the information security of the Russian Federation, which require the reaction of the legislator. However, the conditions of globalization require States to take joint measures to address such a complex problem as information security. Consequently, international information security cannot be achieved by a single state. It is necessary to consolidate efforts and develop a uniform approach to this issue. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The Information society is characterized by a high level of development of information and communication technologies and their use in almost all spheres of life. The emergence of the global information society, the increased role of information and information and communication technologies have stimulated the adoption of a number of international legal instruments in this area. In addition, a number of other guidance documents have been developed and adopted that define the ways and directions of law-making and cooperation at the level of regional organizations. Their distinctive feature was the realization of the lack of unified and clear conceptual and categorical apparatus. This also applies to the concept of “information security”, a unified approach to the understanding of which is not available at the international level. General scientific methods (materialistic dialectics) and private scientific methods: formallogical, comparative-legal, historical-legal. Results. Currently, at the international level, there is not only no legal act regulating issues in the field of criminal law protection of information security, but also there is no common understanding of information security, its main threats of possible joint measures to prevent and eliminate them. Discussion and Conclusion. As the interstate information confrontation will continue and gain new momentum, there is an urgent need for the adoption of an international legal act aimed at the criminal law protection of information security, containing the classification of crimes against information security and recommendations to States on the criminalization of acts against information security in national legislation.

Role Of The State

Being a citizen means more than simply possessing proper legal documents. It also entails notions of belonging that are defined and cultivated in large part by the nation-state. As Aihwa Ong (2003) observes, citizenship is a ‘social process,’ which, in the context of the United States, is tied to wealth accumulation and self-reliance. The role of the state in this process is clearly visible in refugee resettlement, where newly arrived refugees come into contact with a host of social services designed to create citizens who are appropriately "American."

In addition to the undoubted positive for socialization of humanity ICT have generated a fundamentally new threats - infogens. In the face of the deteriorating of international situation has sharply increased role of strengthening of the international information security (IIS). Offensive approaches of NATO and the United States to the problem of the IIS are radically different from the peace approaches of Russia and its partners in the SCO.

This article critically discusses the intellectual and conceptual shifts that have occurred in information society theories (and also policies) in the previous four decades. We will examine the topic by focusing on the work of Daniel Bell and Manuel Castells, arguably two of the most important information society theorists. A key element in the academic shift from “post-industrial” (Bell) thinking to the discourse on “network society” (Castells) is that it has brought forward a different way of understanding the role of the state vis-a-vis the development of new information and communication technologies, as well as a new assessment of the role of the state in the economy and society at large. Against the Keynesian undertones of Bell’s ideas, Castells’ network society theory represents a neoliberally restructured version of “information society” that is associated with the rise of flexibility, individuality and a new culture of innovation. We argue that these changing discourses on the information society have served a definite hegemonic function for political elites, offering useful ideals and conceptions for forming politics and political compromises in different historical conjunctures. We conclude the article by looking at how the on-going global economic crisis and neoliberalism’s weakening hegemonic potential and turn to austerity and authoritarian solutions challenges existing information society theories.
