Ensuring Information Security as an Object of Criminal Law Protection
( Pp. 250-255)

Abstract: The purpose of the research. The article deals with topical issues related to information security. It analyses the change of the legislator's approach to the conceptual and categorical apparatus, namely the definitions of "information" and "information security" in connection with the changes in social reality, as well as in connection with the development of information technologies. In addition, the question of the place of information and information security in the structure of the criminal law is considered. The study of these issues is necessary, since obtaining answers to these questions will subsequently allow to justify the position for or against the introduction of information security as an object of criminal law protection. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research the author comes to the conclusion that in the conditions of development of information technologies, the approach of the legislator to regulation of public relations in the information sphere changes. In addition, the author, based on the theoretical study of the issue, as well as the presentation of statistical data on the example of confidential information sphere, expresses the opinion that it is necessary to include information security as an object of criminal law protection, due to the increased influence of information on social relations and the potential threat emanating from the information itself.
