About Strategic Directions of Information Security Protection and Further Development of the IT Sector
( Pp. 95-99)

Today it is time to set a serious task for the strategic support of the development of information technology in the Russian Federation. The future of not only the entire digital sphere, but also the economy of the whole country depends on the chosen path. It is obvious that using American computer software becomes dangerous for national security, which is why it is worth considering and choosing the most optimal ways of development, bypassing sanctions and taking into account the current unfavorable economic situation. The purpose of this work is the theoretical development of strategic directions for the protection of information security and further development of the IT sector of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. It is noted that there is a need to create a new strategy for the development of information technology. Under the current conditions, it will not be possible to achieve self-sufficiency in software and components for computer equipment in the near future. In this regard, it is necessary to strengthen partnership cooperation according to one of the existing models (Chinese, Latin American, Middle Eastern). It is quite possible that we will have to use all three available models at the same time to get out of the crisis and minimize risks if one of the fundamental partner parties unexpectedly imposes sanctions against our country. It is determined that it is necessary to start training specialists who will be able to work with software from different countries. At the same time, it is necessary to develop domestic products, improve them and modernize them according to the latest technical requirements. The conclusion is made, according to which a strategy for the development of information technology in the context of sanctions should be developed and launched in the very near future, at the head of which should be laid the principles of self-sufficiency of Russian software, its competitiveness in the market, accessibility and efficiency, adaptability and stability.
