Digitalization of the information society economy and cybersecurity of social services

In the work, taking into account previous studies of the stages and tasks of the development of the global information and digital economy of the information society, strategic and program documents for the development of the digital economy of the information society, the systematization of tasks and consistent disclosure of the content of the tasks of digital transformation of public and municipal administration, economics and the social sphere as one of the target areas for the development of the digital economy in the Russian Federation is carried out. Based on the study of statistical data on security incidents when citizens use the financial services of the Bank of Russia, data on the types of attacks on the Portal of public services and statistical data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the growth of cybercrime, a conclusion is drawn about the relationship and mutual influence of the processes of digitalization of public administration in the social sphere and information security of the exploited digitized processes of interaction of citizens with public services and financial services. This fact allows us to conclude that the processes of providing public and financial services are not sufficiently mature in terms of their cybersecurity level. To increase the level of cybersecurity of digital solutions, the author proposes to introduce in Russia the National Cybersecurity Index as a state mechanism for evaluating and controlling the necessary level of security of digital solutions accepted for operation and implemented within the framework of the national goal “Digital transformation of public and municipal administration, economy and social sphere”. The conducted research contributes to understanding the place and role of the information security system in digital public administration and digitalization of the social services sector.
