Abstract
This paper validates the relevance of contemporary electronic communication systems, networks, and hardware and software suites and tools being particularly susceptible to cyber influences. The goal of the article is to concisely summarize international experience in modern human resource competencies within the cybersecurity domain and to identify their components according to specific directions.
The paper examines current international trends regarding the formation of a minimal necessary package for creating, implementing, technical support, and enhancing an information security and cyber defense management system. This necessitates the development of a digitally aware society by the state, a crucial area of its internal policy. It emphasizes the undeniable fact that the demand for cybersecurity professionals will continually grow as high-technology society advances. In the context of the state’s total defense, the role of unified training for defense force personnel and the civilian sector in cybersecurity is beyond doubt.
It is concluded that the main focus in forming Cybercom of partner countries is adequate funding, careful selection of personnel, quality professional training, and ensuring full interoperability of diverse structural units of subjects ensuring information protection and cybersecurity at the state level. The share of cyber threats is increasing, and this trend will intensify over the next decade as the internet technology sphere is developing rapidly, and digital solutions are being used in combination (e.g., artificial intelligence and blockchain). For instance, current Russia is one of the main threats to national and international cybersecurity, actively implementing the concept of information confrontation based on a combination of destructive actions in cyberspace. An increase in conflicts between states and the intensity of intelligence and subversive activities in cyberspace is expected. The number of states seeking to form their own cyber-intelligence, master the latest methods of destructive influence in cyberspace, and strengthen state control over the state segment of the Internet is growing. The technical level of cyber threats is increasing, and new tools and mechanisms for cyber attacks are constantly being improved and developed
