MODERN ASPECTS OF DIGITALIZATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM: FOREIGN EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The article analyzes the main aspects of the digitalization of national security abroad. An analysis of foreign experience – in particular, of countries such as the USA, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, Australia, the EU and the Baltic countries – shows that the basis of effective digital security is strategic coordination between the public and private sectors, the development of technological infrastructure, regulatory adaptability and increasing the digital literacy of all participants in the security environment.

The author proposes the main aspects of implementing world experience in the digitalization of national security in Ukraine. It is noted that the implementation of foreign experience should be based on several key areas: first, the development of a National Digital Security Strategy taking into account the risks of cyberwar, hybrid threats and information attacks; second, large-scale digitalization of the security and defense sector, including the construction of cyber operations centers, the deployment of cloud solutions on secure servers, and the use of automated monitoring systems; third, the creation of a cyber reserve – a network of civilian specialists capable of participating in countering attacks; fourth, the integration of Ukrainian structures into international cooperation platforms in the field of cybersecurity (ENISA, CISA, NCSC, etc.); fifth, the development of education and digital literacy, including for security sector employees, with an emphasis on practical skills and adaptive digital competencies; sixth, ensuring technological sovereignty, in particular by supporting domestic IT solutions, localizing critical data, and reducing dependence on external digital platforms.

The digitalization of Ukraine's national security system should become a priority of state policy, aimed not only at strengthening defense capabilities, but also at building a sustainable, adaptive, innovative model of security risk management in the modern world. The implementation of proven international practices while taking into account Ukrainian realities can significantly increase the effectiveness of the state's response to modern threats.
