use of highly efficient advanced technologies will result in recession, reduced
quality and standard of living, and increased social tensions.
3. In the field of public administration, state and local government bodies may be
discredited, artificial difficulties will prevent their normal functioning, creating
an imbalance of interests of man, society and state, causing social, national and
religious conflicts in society, strikes and riots.
4. In the field of culture, education, and spiritual sphere, information threats may
result in the loss of cultural heritage and national traditions, the spread of foreign
ideology and moral values, the manifestation of godlessness and immorality, the
loss of national identity.
5. Possible consequences in the field of the country’s defense and national security:
• Violation of the management of troops, weapons, and military equipment;
• Reduced technological level of the defense industry;
• Drop in morale of military personnel and employees of defense industry
enterprises.
It is obvious that all the possible consequences listed above are very serious for life
and work of every citizen of the country, not only for the elite or political leadership.
Therefore, the problem should be clearly articulated and brought to the attention of
the great masses of population through the education system and media.
As the global process of informatization unfolds, followed by the inevitable globalization of the world community and the transition of developed countries to the
information-based way of life, the problem is becoming more significant.
1.1.4 Main Tasks of Information Security
The main tasks of any independent state in preventing, countering, and neutralizing
external and internal threats to information security are as follows:
(1) Creation of a legislative framework to ensure the information security of man,
society, and state, which forms the legal basis for countering information threats;
(2) Organizing special events aimed at ensuring information security in public
authorities and local governments of the country;
(3) Creation and implementation of domestic high-performance tools, methods, and
systems for protecting information in national information and telecommunication systems, as well as methods to ensure reliable and uninterrupted functioning
of these systems in military, economic, financial, and socio-political spheres;
(4) Creation and practical implementation of effective means, methods, and systems
for protecting national information resources of the country from destruction
and unauthorized access, increasing the storage reliability and security.
At the same time, it is necessary to take into account both their national specificity and international experience, namely, the Information Technology Security
Evaluation Criteria adopted in 1991 by a group of European countries.
