Information Law as a Complex Branch of Law and Science

The article emphasizes that information law, since its inception, has been developing as a complex branch of law, borrowing some of the rules from private and public law. The intersection of scientific industry interests in the subject area of information law and intellectual property law, as well as other branches of public law and humanitarian disciplines, is established. The author comes to the conclusion that the distinction between the concepts of "information" and "digital" law is associated with the use of new "cross-cutting technologies" in the digital economy and different levels of scientific formation of their conceptual apparatus, and also proposes to comprehensively consider "Legal Support for Information Security" as a sub-branch of information law in connection with the use of information technologies and digital solutions. The article analyzes interdisciplinary problems that are insufficiently developed in the theory of information law, related to civil, commercial, administrative, criminal and other branches of law in the digital economy. A scientific approach is formulated and the relevance of the choice of research in the field of legal regulation and protection of information in the digital era is shown.
