Economic cyber security of business in Ukraine: Strategic directions and implementation mechanism

Abstract

The study is devoted to the determination of strategic directions for ensuring the economic cyber security of business in Ukraine. The importance of information protection in the context of the development of the digital economy has been updated. The place of economic cyber security in the national security system is determined. A thorough analysis of the dynamics of cyber incidents in the world in recent years has been conducted. The specifics of the manifestation of cyber threats at the macro and micro levels are outlined. Qualitative changes in the state policy of Ukraine in the aspect of ensuring information and cyber security have been studied. A number of the most relevant risks and threats to the economic cyber security of business in 2023 have been identified. The need for business entities to develop an effective internal policy of cyber protection of computer networks against attacks, intrusions and unauthorized access is proven. The modern trends of cyber threats are studied and the cyber security policy strategy of business entities in Ukraine is described. Special attention is paid to the intrusion detection process. The working principles of modern intrusion detection and prevention systems have been studied in detail. Behavioral analytics of UEBA users and objects were considered to detect violations in the field of security. On the basis of Microsoft's Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA), the process of monitoring network traffic of domain controllers was considered, with the aim of detecting cyber-attacks. Using Azure Security Center as an example, it explores intelligent security tools and expanding analytics to detect threats faster and reduce the number of false security alerts. Using the proposed cybersecurity policy recommendations will significantly increase the level of business information security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability).
