Thus, a separate system of regulation of social relations is being formed, which directly affects the state of security of modernised society. As a result, it can be established that the current society, both in Kyrgyzstan and in other states, is an information society and continues to develop on its basis.

It has been established that the number of offences in the field of information security is growing, so there is a need to develop new legal instruments for their deterrence.
