The article considers the legal mechanisms for ensuring information security. It has been proven that today, more than ever, when there is a war in Ukraine, the issue of ensuring information security becomes especially relevant and significant, as the information space becomes a «battlefield» on a par with the war front. Enemy forces actively use informational and psychological operations to destabilize the situation inside our country, create panic, spread fakes and undermine trust in state institutions. In these conditions, the state's policy becomes important, which should be integral and effective in countering these threats. An effective state policy in the field of information security will help ensure society's resilience to information threats, strengthen trust in state institutions, and maintain stability in crisis conditions. The author's understanding of information security is offered as a state of security of information resources and information systems, which ensures their confidentiality, integrity, availability and reliability, as well as protection against unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, destruction and other forms of abuse that may lead to a violation of national security, economic stability and social order. The main components of information security, which are the basis for information security for the state as a whole, individual bodies or private enterprises, are called confidentiality, integrity and availability. The main components of the mechanism for ensuring information security, in the opinion of the author, should be: technical (creation of appropriate technical infrastructure to ensure the functioning of information security), political (development of state policy aimed at ensuring information security) and legal (adoption of high-quality normative legal acts that will determine all information security measures). These three components complement each other and are key to creating an effective system of protection against information threats.
