Abstract. The purpose of the article is to analyze the mechanisms of ensuring information security in
Ukraine, including legal, technical, organizational, preventive, control, and sanction components. Special
attention is paid to identifying the strengths and weaknesses of these mechanisms in the context of modern
information challenges.
The article identifies the main elements of information security mechanisms, their functions, and
interconnections. The legal mechanism provides a regulatory framework but contains outdated provisions
requiring updates. The technical mechanismforms the technological basis of security but suffers frominsufficient
modernization. The organizational and legal mechanism focuses on coordinating state bodies’ actions, but poor
communication with the private sector limits its effectiveness. The control mechanism ensures monitoring
compliance with security standards, yet technical and staffing deficiencies remain a challenge. Preventive
measures, including personnel training and public awareness, are underdeveloped. The sanction mechanism
establishes legal accountability, but its practical implementation faces significant challenges.
A comprehensive approach is to evaluate the effectiveness of information security mechanisms has been
developed, to consider their structural interaction and functional interconnections. Special attention is given to
integrating various components of the system, including legal, technical, and organizational mechanisms, to
ensure their coordinated functioning. Recommendations have been proposed for modernizing the existing
mechanisms by implementing advanced technologies, updating the regulatory framework, and aligning with
international standards. Additionally, the need to enhance coordination between state authorities and the private
sector in the field of cybersecurity has been substantiated.
The study’s findings can be used to improve the national information security system, develop new
strategic documents, and implement innovative technologies in the field of information protection.
