ADVANCING OF SOCIO-POLITICAL MECHANISMS FOR MANAGING STATE INFORMATION SECURITY

DOI: 10.52363/passa-2025.1-13

Abstract

The article explores the contemporary challenges facing public administration in the domain of information security under the conditions of martial law in Ukraine. The author conducts an analysis of the socio-political mechanisms essential for building an effective system to safeguard the national information space amid hybrid warfare and external aggression by the Russian Federation. Key issues identified include the lack of effective coordination among public authorities, deficiencies in the regulatory and legal framework, and the generally low level of media literacy among the population. In response to these challenges, the author proposes a comprehensive set of measures aimed at enhancing public administration. These include fostering interagency cooperation, reinforcing societal resilience to disinformation, and reforming state information policy to meet the exigencies of wartime conditions.

Keywords: information security, public administration, martial law, disinformation, information policy, hybrid warfare, state security.
