The article examines the problem of organizing legal security in the information sphere. Based on the provisions of Article 17 of the Constitution of Ukraine and the Information Security Strategy, one of the most important functions of the Ukrainian state at the present stage is to ensure information security. The problem of legal security in Ukraine acquires particular relevance and importance today, during the full-scale invasion of the Russian aggressor, when his insidious aggressive actions are implemented on all fronts, including in the information space. In these conditions, the state policy becomes important, which must be holistic and effective in countering threats. The author summarizes and supports the understanding of the definition of information security as a state of security of information resources and information systems, which ensures their confidentiality, integrity, availability, as well as reliability and protection from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, destruction and other forms of unlawful encroachments that pose threats to national security, economic stability and order in society. At the same time, the main components of the information security mechanism, which are the basis of information security for the state as a whole, individual legal entities or individuals, are confidentiality, integrity and availability. The main components of the information security mechanism, in the author's opinion, should be: technical (creation of an 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 regulatory legal acts that will determine all information security measures). as well as technologies in the field of artificial intelligence and a number of applied practical elements, which, of course, affect the state and level of information security in the state. These components and elements complement each other and are the basis for creating an effective security system against information threats in the information and cyberspace.
