Continuous expansion of the scope of network information technologies application permanently create the background for the appearance of new threats to the security of individuals, society and the state, including information security. Especially dangerous are terrorist acts potential threats by using information resources in the appropriate infrastructure of society and the state individual institutions. The current state of the problem of criminal liability for trespass to digital information, their dynamics and impact on Russia's technological and industrial potential, as well as the negative consequences of committing crimes in the sphere of digital information are considered in the article. A wide use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is an integral requirement of time representing an indicator of the development of a modern economy, both private and national, i.e. state. However, an increase in the share of information crime interferes with the progressive development of ICT. When using the methodological approach in science, measures of general prevention, as well as measures of special prevention aimed at digital crime countering are singled out. The most effective of them are special preventive measures, such as the current criminal, criminal procedure and information legislation improvement; the judicial practice improvement; the creation of new and improvement of existing methods of investigation and prevention of digital security crimes; the qualified personnel training in the field of information security (including specialized research institutes and government agencies of the relevant areas); as well as the need to keep within the necessary information security limits by the users themselves, both in the workplace and in everyday communication. This article is devoted to discussing some of these special preventive measures.

With the development of Internet technologies, cybercrime has also evolved and diversified. Much of the world's economic and business information comes from electronic information, and the need for remote work caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has further increased demand for e-services, which in turn has contributed to increased technology risks, threats, and incidents. The main task of the states is to actively fight against the negative socio-economic, financial, and political consequences caused by the growth of cybercrime. The main purpose of the study is to assess the negative consequences of cybercrime in Georgia, the main threats to information security, to develop recommendations for the prevention of cybercrime, to improve its legal regulation mechanisms. The fight against cybercrime in Georgia is carried out using criminal norms. The law "On Information Security" is in force in the country, Georgia's cyber security strategy has been developed, but this process needs constant development. The main task of the state is to gradually improve the legislation and bring it in line with modern technologies, to ensure close cooperation between the state and society, to raise the awareness of civil society. It is essential to constantly inform the public and companies about cyber threats, as effective prevention is the best form of crime prevention policy.

The necessity of formation of an effective information security system of the enterprise is substantiated. It is emphasized that when designing an information policy, the firm must comply with the requirements of the current legislation, take into account the level of technical support, especially the regulation of employees' access to confidential information, etc. It is stated that the costs of organizing information security measures should be appropriate to its value. The article identifies major threats that could be breached by confidential information. The list of the main normative legal acts aimed at bringing to civil, administrative and criminal responsibility for illegal collection, disclosure and use of information constituting a trade secret. The main stages of building an information security policy are summarized, the most common types of information threats related to the use of modern computer technologies are described. The necessity of developing a domestic original accounting (management) program that could be used in the long term by the vast majority of Ukrainian enterprises is pointed out. There are three groups of tools that are applied in the theory and practice of information security of the enterprise (active, passive and combined), emphasizing the need for planning and continuous monitoring in real time of all important processes and conditions that affect data security. It is noted that even if the information security system is built taking into account all modern methods and means of protection, it does not guarantee one hundred percent protection of the information resources of the enterprise, but a well-designed information security policy allows to minimize the corresponding risks. Key words: information security, information policy, information security, confidential information, information threats, information and communication technologies, software.

The article examines the positive effects and negative consequences of the digital transformation of the national economy in terms of waves of technological progress and the spread of innovation. It is determined that the development of the digital economy is the most obvious result of the wave-like nature of digitalization. A three-sector model of the digital economy is proposed, where the primary sector is its core and includes fundamental innovations (semiconductors, microprocessors), basic technologies (computers, telecommunications devices), stimulating infrastructure (Internet and telecommunications networks); the secondary sector includes services based on basic digital technologies, including digital platforms, mobile applications, and electronic payment systems; tertiary – a digital economy based on a wide range of digital products and services, including e-commerce and new activities or business models that are transformed as a result of digital technologies. A system of indicators has been formed that provides a quantitative interpretation of the economic and social consequences of the process of the digital transformation of the national economy. Such an assessment will help to understand the potential impact of digital transformation on economic growth, which is often uneven, both within the country and between countries with different levels of socio-economic development. This impact was considered in several parameters, including labor productivity, gross domestic product, value-added, employment, as well as for various components of the digital economy. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the net impact on the overall economy is difficult to assess mainly due to the imperfection of existing methods of assessing the digital economy. It was found that the most threatening consequences of the digital transformation are labor displacement, as the exponential change in technology leads to the use of robots, autonomous vehicles, sensors, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, changing the workflow towards greater flexibility with the predominant use of temporary labor. The types of work organizations that are likely to be part of the working ecosystem for at least the next 10 years are described.

The authors analyze the work of law enforcement bodies in the conditions of the pandemic when the situation has not been recognized as an emergency by the government authorities and the state of emergency has not been announced (using the example of the situation in March — April of 2020 connected with the COVID-19 pandemic). They stress the importance of a comprehensive assessment of how critical the situation is and of carrying out certain actions even before it is recognized as an emergency. The authors also analyze various approaches to this situation used in difference regions of Russia and point out negative consequences of the implementation of some decisions. It is shown that law enforcement activities, in comparison with other functions of the state, provide fewer opportunities for avoiding personal contact with citizens. In this connection, different ways of carrying out criminalistic activities effectively that take into consideration the necessity of minimizing personal contact for the investigator are presented, such as: distance communication, investigative activities in virtual reality, use of unmanned aerial vehicles to examine the scene of crime without visiting the area during lockdown, use of criminalistic robotics and other robotic complexes. The authors note with regret that while the administration of law enforcement during an emergency situation or a state of emergency is supported by research-based recommendations, it is left in a virtual vacuum, research- and methodology-wise, in the situation of restrictive measures and self-isolation. The article describes both measures of general prevention (use of medical masks, disposable gloves, disposable clothes, hazmat suits), and special possibilities provided by information and communication technologies available in the conditions of the fourth information revolution. The latter, according to the authors, are a wider use of videoconferencing (including its use for such investigative actions as interrogation, confrontation, identification parade, examination), use of computer-augmented reality, implementation of the concept of electronic justice and the use of robotic complexes for criminalistic purposes.


The paper deals with expert predictions on the development of e-learning in the Czech Republic, a country in Central Europe. The first part of the paper describes the development of e-learning with specific feature in the Czech Republic in relation to the implementation of Information and communication technologies (ICT) to schools and the business sector. The second part of the paper presents a survey with selected experts, conducted in the years 2012 and 2013 in the Czech Republic, aiming at identifying the trends of e-learning. Special attention is paid to applying e-learning in the corporate sector. Our survey provides a better understanding of the current and future trends of e-learning to a wide range of stakeholders interested in using e-learning. Understanding the existing and future state of e-learning should be a starting point for further development of any e-learning strategy, in both education and corporate sectors. Therefore, the findings of our survey have important practical implications. The survey also proves that identification of the e-learning trends at the national level is influenced by political, economic, social and technological factors.

At present, the issues of economic security seem to be relevant both for the economic development of the state and for complex scientific research. A wide range of the vital activities of society includes indicators that reflect the potential threats that can be encountered by economic agents. The problem of economic security is now becoming increasingly important, and this in turn is caused by the rapid development of a diversified alternative economy that uses the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress. It is quite difficult to predict the development of the country’s economy in the long term when the current challenges and threats are not taken into account. That is why in the information age, where information technology is the main basis for conducting economic activity, and information security is one of the main directions of state development, while the state itself acts as an economic institution. Therefore, the development of the digital economy in Russia poses both opportunities and significant threats.
