The article considers topical issues of information security in the activities of the National Police of Ukraine. It is determined that the main problem of information security in the law enforcement sphere arose due to the global contradiction between the possibilities of information technologies and the threats of their use. The settlement of the existing public information relations alone is insufficient, as the legislation does not keep pace with technical progress. The definition of "information security" is considered and the author's definition of this concept is offered. The main normative legal acts regulating the activity of the National Police in this direction are analyzed. It is stated that information security of the National Police of Ukraine is provided in two forms: organizational (related to the circulation, collection, processing, storage, use and protection of information); legal (preparation and approval of regulations (orders, instructions), development of regulations, instructions, algorithms, plans, etc.). The key to information protection is the administration of information systems. The European experience of information protection in the law enforcement sphere is considered. Attention is drawn to the need to implement a system of modern international information security standards ISO / IES series 27000, which is constantly updated. It is theoretically substantiated that: increasing the efficiency of the National Police of Ukraine can be solved through the introduction of a reliable information security system; to achieve the highest level of information security of law enforcement agencies it is necessary not only to improve the current legislation, but also to have a mechanism for its implementation; Security and protection in the information systems of the National Police should be based on a comprehensive approach to building a protection system, which provides for the integration into a single set of necessary measures and means of information protection at all levels of the information system.

The article focuses on studying the definitions of “information technologies” and aims to elaborate on the proposal concerning its legislative consolidation. The analysis of actual regulations in Ukraine, which determine the public relations in the sphere of information, as well as the state of research on this problem by other scholars, have shown the following: (1) currently, there is no unambiguous interpretation of this definition at the legislative level, which creates the preconditions for ambiguous interpretation and practical application of this concept in the legal field; (2) for several reasons, there exists a noticeable lack of a unanimous approach to unifying the definitions of “information resources.” This study offers to rely on an approach according to which the definition of “information resources” is considered in the context of a particular area of social activities. Based on this approach, it is offered to amend the basic normative legal document that defines public relations in the information sphere in Ukraine, i.e., the Law of Ukraine “On Information,” as well as the main legal instrument that regulates information activities in the National Police of Ukraine, that is the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police.”

Based on the analysis of scientific concepts and legal principles the author has provided the definition of information security, provision of information security in Ukraine and has characterized its components. The current state of legal regulation of the organization and activity of cyberpolice units of the National Police of Ukraine has been analyzed. Particular attention has been paid to the legal analysis of the tasks, functions and structure of the Cyberpolice Department of the National Police of Ukraine. Special attention has been drawn to certain shortcomings of Ukrainian legislation in the field of ensuring information security by the police, its compliance with the norms and standards of international law. Taking into account the specifics of the tasks, the author has provided characteristics of the functions of cyberpolice units in the information sphere, which should be divided according to the purpose into: 1) basic (external), which are focused on law enforcement and preventive aspects; 2) auxiliary (intrasystem), which are focused on promoting the implementation of basic functions, the introduction of appropriate management mechanisms within the system. It has been stated that the modern system of ensuring information security and cybersecurity in Ukraine should be one effective system, consisting of such mandatory components as legal, educational and technical. It has been concluded that in order to improve the legal principles for the organization and activities of cyberpolice units of the National Police in the field of ensuring information security and counteracting cyber threats, first of all, it is necessary to optimize the organizational structure of cyberpolice, reasonably distribute the functions (powers) between cyberpolice units and other subjects combating cyber threats in Ukraine, to create appropriate conditions for reaching a qualitatively new level of interaction between them and coordination of their activities in the field of ensuring information security in modern conditions.

In theory and in practice, there is a problem of removing uncertainty in the implementation of technical measures due to the unclear right-hand regulation of classification of measures to ensure the security of data automatically processed in information systems. In the article, based on the application of set theory, it is proposed to remove this uncertainty by selecting groups of measures to ensure the security of information. Information protection in the Federal law "on information, information technologies and information protection" is the adoption of legal, organizational and technical measures. However, in practice, in the system of measures to ensure the information security of objects of protection, they are found not only in a "pure" form, but also in a close relationship, interaction with each other (organizational-legal, organizational-technical, technical-legal), and very often can not be implemented independently.

Introduction: according to the official statistics, the number of acts involving information technology is increasing every year in Russia. In particular, currently, the types of crimes in the field of information technology are changing qualitatively and continue to evolve continuously, becoming highly organized and more sophisticated. Through the use of information technologies in Russia, such crimes as hacking, illegal data acquisition (information espionage), theft of other people’s property from payment (settlement) cards and accounts of citizens, trafficking of drugs, arms, human beings are committed; the extremist literature is distributed, new members of terrorist groups are recruited; pornography, including children, is spread, illegal gambling and online games are conducted; fraud through the use of cellular and IP-telephony services, theft of personal data in large amount and selling them, and other crimes are committed using information technologies. The current type of computer fraud – phishing – is gaining momentum. Its essence is that cybercriminals seek to get hold of the data of ordinary people through computer technology, and using this data, get hold of their funds, including financial ones. It seems that such actions can neither contribute to the development of Russian society, nor to the development of civilized relations in society, nor to the development of information networks themselves. After all, any technology can be used for both constructive and non-constructive technologies. And when these goals are destructive, the law enforcement agencies, in our opinion, should have an effective level of training to deal with such violations. We believe that it is not enough to calculate, detect, and establish. We still need to be able to bring the culprit to criminal responsibility. In this regard, the most important thing is to ensure that anonymity not only creates the illusion of impunity, but also that the law enforcement agencies have a sufficient legal, organizational and, first of all, personnel basis to expose the criminal. In order to successfully thwart crimes in the field of information technology, the availability of implementation of the adopted standards and the key to the implementation of the state policy in the field of information security is the training and education of appropriate personnel who would provide “breakthrough” results in this area. The purpose of the research is to study the issues of improving the training of the law enforcement officers in countering crimes committed through the use of information technologies. Methods: the research uses a comparative analysis and generalization of the examples of the educational methods used in the educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the field of information security. The authors study, in particular, the general theoretical and practical orientation of the educational process in this area, synthesizing the results obtained, whose purpose is to improve the training of highly qualified specialists for the Internal Affairs bodies capable of countering crimes in the field of information technologies. Results: the authors formulate the main directions for improving the training of the law enforcement officers to counter crimes committed using information technologies, in particular, on the example of the educational organizations used in the educational process of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Thus, one of the measures proposed by the authors in this direction is the opening of a new specialty – cyber-investigator or cyber-criminalist. The entry of developed countries into the sixth technological order and the further active digitalization of the world economy predict a huge scale and replication of crimes using information technologies. This circumstance actualizes the need to popularize the profession of a cyber-investigator – a specialist with an interdisciplinary education, i.e. experience in the investigative agencies will have to be combined with the skills of a criminalist and a specialist in the field of information protection.

The article provides a refined definition of “information system for business” as a coordinated set of material, non-material and human re-sourses components that is used to implement a set of procedures of form¬ing an information resource as a quality product that meets the needs of ex¬ternal and internal users. According to the study, information technologies play a key role in the modern business environment. Many economic enti¬ties carry out their economical activities exclusively bye using communica¬tion-digital networks and functional software which provide the infor-mation necessary for effective business management. Resently, it has been proven that the communication and information technologies have become an integral part of any modern information systems, since they increase the level of business competitiveness during use the operational management information on time.These information technologies ensure the work’s continuity of information systems for a long period of time with the possi¬bility of quick adaptation of the business to the digital transformation’s conditions, which reduce the formation’s cost of information resources.The role of such components of information technology as software, databases and computer networks, which, in turn, are key components of high-quality information systems, is disclosed.

The relevance of the article is that the creation of the National Police of Ukraine has become a radically new stage in reforming the law enforcement sector of our state. This central executive body was called not only to ensure the protection and observance of human and civil rights and freedoms, but also to increase the general level of public confidence in the state in general and its law enforcement sector in particular. At the same time, in carrying out their activities, the police implement a number of measures, among which a special place belongs to administrative coercion. The latter, in turn, emphasize the legal relationship between the state and the law enforcement system. Therefore, establishing the place, role and importance of the National Police in the system of law enforcement agencies of the state is of great importance for their proper functioning and efficiency. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists and the norms of current legislation, identifies the types of measures implemented by the National Police of Ukraine. The content of some measures is revealed. It is stated that in the system of measures implemented by the National Police, one of the key places is given to administrative coercion. The author's definition of the concept of administrative and coercive measures implemented by the National Police of Ukraine is proposed. It is determined that administrative-coercive police measures occupy the main place in the administrative activity of the police, as they provide, in particular: unimpeded preventive measures to prevent offenses; protection of human rights, freedoms and interests, citizens and public order and public safety; cessation of committed offenses; gathering evidence; identification and detention of the offender; bringing perpetrators to justice; restoration of justice in society, etc. Therefore, the more effective the measures of administrative coercion that can be used by the National Police of Ukraine, the better the fight against crime and the more effective the process of crime prevention.

The scientific article considers the issue of information protection during the investigation of criminal proceedings, informationsecurity. The position of researchers and practitioners on information security at the stage of pre-trial investigation of criminal procee -dings is studied.The provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On Information», the Strategy for the Development of the System of the Ministry of InternalAffairs of Ukraine until 2020, the Regulations on the Procedure for Maintaining the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations toEnsure Information Security in Proceedings are analyzed.The introduction of information technology in criminal procedure has become an urgent issue, and their application has necessitatedthe need to address the issue of information security in criminal proceedings. When investigating proceedings, the investigatorsuse databases and enter into these databases information that must be securely protected. Information in criminal proceedings needsspecial protection, as it is subject to encroachment by interested parties on its disclosure and transmission.Ensuring information security is to create appropriate conditions for the storage, processing and exchange of information that inany way relates to the investigation of criminal proceedings. Interference in the activities of pre-trial investigation bodies through informationsystems is an undermining of the principle of independence of the law enforcement system. It is important not only to combatunauthorized interference, but also to increase the degree of responsibility for such actions. Because all data collected in criminal proceedingsare protected by law and are a secret of the investigation.Information security in criminal proceedings is the protection of the information environment of electronic criminal proceedingswith the help of means and methods of information storage, which ensures the proper functioning of criminal proceedings and facilitatesthe implementation of its tasks.

With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology (e.g. wireless sensor networks), security has become a global issue. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability (known as the CIA triangle) is widely used to define and model information security. However, this CIA triangle is insufficient to address rapidly changing security requirements. In this article, we divide information systems into four layers: physical layer, operational layer, data layer, and content layers (PODC). Corresponding, hierarchy of information security is proposed. Furthermore, we define the basic security properties for each layer and show that the four properties (i.e. confidentiality, availability, controllability, and authentication, called CACA) are minimally complete and independent for information security. Based on PODC and CACA, a new definition of information security is proposed, which acts as a secure foundation for information systems.

The author of the article has outlined the etymology of the legal category of “powers”. Special attention has been focused on the fact that, revealing the essence of the powers of the Cyberpolice Department as a subject of counteraction to cybercrime, such concepts as “right” and “duty” can not be evaded. The author has made the conclusion about the interdependence of the terms of “powers” and “task”. It has been noted that the term of “powers of the Cyberpolice Department of Ukraine” did not receive its legislative consolidation. The author has formulated own definition of the term of “powers of the Cyberpolice Department of the National Police”, which is offered to understand as the system of legal rights (measures of possible behavior) and legal obligations (measures of the necessary behavior) determined at the regulatory level, which the Department has in order to implement the law enforcement functions. The key regulatory acts have been researched through the prism of the main powers of the Cyberpolice Department of the National Police. The classification of powers of the Cyberpolice Department of the National Police of Ukraine has been provided, taking into account the main areas of activity of the researched state authority. Among the main types of powers of the Cyberpolice Department the author has offered to distinguish the following: main (direct) and additional (derivatives); organizational, control and supervisory. The emphasis has been paid to the fact that non-fulfillment or improper performance of their duties or abuse of the law entails legal liability that can be applied to the subjects of the relevant legal relations, including the Cyberpolice Department of the National Police of Ukraine.
