DIGITAL SECURITY PROBLEMS AND WAYS TO ENSURING IT

Аннотация

In the modern world, digital security plays a key role in ensuring the protection of data, information systems and cyber infrastructure. In Uzbekistan, as in other countries, with the development of digital technologies, the risks associated with cyber threats, data leaks, fraud and unauthorized access to information are growing. In this article, we consider the main problems of digital security in Uzbekistan, analyze existing threats and assess the measures taken to prevent them. We pay special attention to legislative initiatives, international cooperation and modern technologies for information protection. Keywords:digital security, cyber threats, cyber attacks, data protection, cyber fraud, digital safety, international cooperation. Introduction. In recent years, Uzbekistan has been actively moving towards digitalization, introducing modern technologies into various areas of the economy and social life. However, therapid development of digital technologies is accompanied byan increase in cyber threats and requires increased attention todigital security issues. In response to these challenges, Uzbekistan has adopted important legislative initiativesaimed at strengthening digital security: ● Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. ZRU-964 dated September 20, 2024 introduced amendments and additions to existing regulations in order to strengthen information security in the activities of credit and non-bank credit organizations, as well as in the e-government system. This law is aimed at preventing offenses committed using information and communication technologies1. ● Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. ZRU-1003 dated November 21, 2024 provides for the improvement of the system of working with digital evidence, strengthening guarantees for the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens and organizations. Amendments have been made to the laws "On Notaries", "On Arbitration Courts" and "On Forensic Examination", establishing the procedure for the examination and study ofdigital evidence2. In addition, within the framework of the Digital Uzbekistan 2030 program, special attention is paid to cyber hygiene issues as the basis of legal culture in a digital society.

Thus, Uzbekistan is taking significant steps to ensure digital security by adapting the legislative framework and introducing practices aimed at protecting the country's information space. Analyses and findings. Cybersecurity is a system of measures and technologies aimed at protecting digital data, computer systems and networks from threats, attacks and unauthorized access. It covers the protection of personal data, financial information, government and corporate networks, andinformation systems. Cyber ​ ​ infrastructure includes a set of technological solutions and systems that ensure the operation of the Internet, cloud services, databases, servers, telecommunications networks and other digital objects. It is the basis for the functioning of all digital services and requires reliable protection. As technology advances, cyber threats such as viruses, phishing, account hacks, data leaks, and attacks on government and corporate systems are on the rise. Digital security is essential for: ● protection ofusers' personal data; ● preventing financial losses for companies andorganizations; ● ensuring the uninterrupted operation of critical systems (banking, medical, government); ● preventing industrial andgovernment espionage. Cybernetics, as a science of information management and processing, plays a key role in the development of digital security. It helps develop intelligent security systems, analyze threats, and predict attacks usingartificial intelligence and machine learning. Digital security covers several levels ofprotection: 1. Technicalmeasures–antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, data encryption. 2. Organizationalmeasures–security policies,staff training, access control. 3. Legislativemeasures–regulations governing thestorage and protection ofdata. Effective digital security not only prevents attacks, but also minimizes their consequences, ensuring thereliable operation ofall digital systems. In the context of rapid digitalization of the economy and society, Uzbe
