Cyberlaw in Ukraine: current status and future development

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to focus on current problems existing in the national legal regulation of cyberspace, peculiarities of the formation of a new branch of law - cyber law, as well as to identify ways to improve cyber law effectively further in Ukraine. In this sense, it is obvious that the regulation of objects and phenomena of cyberspace at the national level is rather weak and insufficient compared to other countries, so it is appropriate to analyze normative and legal practices in cyber law, effectively functioning in developed democracies, in order to adapt them to the realities of the Ukrainian legal system. The methodological basis was the use of a number of methods: the logical method was used to formulate the concepts of “cyber law”, “cyberspace”, “cybersecurity”; the normative-dogmatic method was used to study the content of regulations governing the industry; the monographic method was used to study the works of foreign and domestic scientists; system-structural allowed to study the current state and improvement of cyber law; generalization method was used to formulate conclusions. The results are presented in the form of the author's study of the current state and ways of further development of cyber law in Ukraine. In the course of the study, we formulated conclusions that focus on the features of the current state of functioning of cybersecurity legislation and consider promising directions for its further improvement, which in turn will serve as a basis for the improvement of cyber law in Ukraine.
