DIGITAL SECURITY IN TODAY'S WORLD

For several decades, the engine of modern society has been technological progress. Its innovations, new and constantly improving means and principles are the main components of our current coexistence. Information technologies shape and develop communication between market actors, economic relations, working environment, social interaction on large and small scales. That is why the replacement of previous technology with fundamentally new ways and methods, is always accompanied by changes in the world. If the informational, highly productive and highly networked world was a distant vision of the future just a few years ago, the active use of advanced technologies and gradual transition to a new format of activity have made it a real present. The main raw material for digital transformation is data, which is recognized as a decisive factor in the success of modern business. In the long term, the key competencies of successful companies will lie in collecting, processing, connecting and, most importantly, protecting this data. This is explained by the fact that the information formed in the information and communication system of the enterprise allows determining the efficiency of structural units to improve business processes, signaling trends in their development, thus helping managers to make informed management decisions. This information is of interest not only for the company itself, but also for competitors and cybercriminals, so it requires full protection. The article reveals the results of theoretical research into the protection of digital information, devices and resources in the modern world, and concludes on further improvement of the Russian legislation on digital security.
