APPLICATION OF THE THREAT INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM TO INCREASE THE SECURITY OF GOVERNMENT INFORMATION RESOURCES

With the development of information technology, the need to solve the problem of information security has increased, as it has become the most important strategic resource. At the same time, the vulnerability of the modern information society to unreliable information, untimely receipt of information, industrial espionage, computer crime, etc. is increasing. In this case, the speed of threat detection, in the context of obtaining systemic information about attackers and possible techniques and tools for cyberattacks in order to describe them and respond to them quickly is one of the urgent tasks. In particular, there is a challenge in the application of new systems for collecting information about cyberevents, responding to them, storing and exchanging this information, as well as on its basis methods and means of finding attackers using integrated systems or platforms. To solve this type of problem, the promising direction of Threat Intelligence as a new mechanism for acquiring knowledge about cyberattacks is studied. Threat Intelligence in cybersecurity tasks is defined. The analysis of cyberattack indicators and tools for obtaining them is carried out. The standards of description of compromise indicators and platforms of their processing are compared. The technique of Threat Intelligence in tasks of operative detection and blocking of cyberthreats to the state information resources is developed. This technique makes it possible to improve the productivity of cybersecurity analysts and increase the security of resources and information systems.

The impact of digital transformation on the economic security of Ukraine

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of digital transformations on the economic security of Ukraine. The article examines the essence of the digital economy, defines the features of the functioning of the economy in the context of digitalization. Based on the indicators of the international consulting company McKinsey and the World Bank, the authors analyzed the impact of digitalization on the economy, highlighted the main advantages and disadvantages of functioning in the digital economy, systematized the problems of economic security in the digital economy and highlighted systemic, structural and industry problems, as well as businesses and individuals. The main issues of economic security include the problems of "digital inequality", the lack of their own element base, changes in the labour market, industrial espionage, manipulation of personal data and others. The authors also identified a tool for monitoring the development of a networked digital society – the Network Readiness Index. The practical contribution was the development of a mechanism to smooth the impact of digital transformation on the economic security of Ukraine.

The Perceived Importance of Cybercrime Control among Police Officers: Implications for Combatting Industrial Espionage

The current research explored the predictors of how police officers perceived the importance of combatting cybercrime. This is an era in which industrial security is threatened by perpetrators who use advanced techniques to steal information online. Understanding how law enforcement officers view the control of cybercrimes, especially those that steal confidential business information, can inform industrial espionage prevention and help maintain a nation’s industrial competitiveness in the world market. We surveyed a convenience sample of South Korean police officers attending training at the Police Human Resources Development Institute (PHRDI) using a paper-and-pencil questionnaire. The results indicated that the officers’ perceptions of colleagues’ and organizational views on cybercrime control significantly impacted their attitudes. Additionally, officers’ perceptions of the seriousness of online theft (in this paper, we use the terms online theft and property cybercrime interchangeably) and their computer proficiency were also found to affect their views on the importance of combatting cybercrimes. We conclude by suggesting that the police take a proactive organizational approach to prevent and respond to online property crimes through education and public awareness programs, which could positively impact the prevention of industrial espionage.

UNFAIR COMPETITION AS AN ECONOMIC THREAT

This paper will consider certain aspects of unfair competition and the economic security of an organization. For greater clarity and clarity, the threats of unfair competition were considered in two categories: industrial espionage and unfair advertising.

Internet, Social Media, and Mobile Device Addiction Effects on a Workplace

The purpose of this literature review was to address an existing gap in the literature in understanding how addiction in the form of internet, social media, and mobile device addiction and dependency positively and negatively affect a workplace. The objective of the research was to review over 70 publications on the topics of internet addiction, social media addiction, mobile device dependency, a lack of leading consensus, benefits in the workplace, and challenges in the workplace to include industrial espionage. Future research is also addressed.
