Problems of Legal Support of the Cyber Hygiene Institute

Abstract

Cyberspace, cyberworld or the virtual world has become an inevitable reality of the modern society life. The period of the COVID 19 pandemic has further intensified the relationship between citizens and cyberspace, which in turn leads to an increase in cybercrime in the modern virtual world. Therefore, it has become necessary for each user, taken in the broadest sense of the term, to use secure methods when navigating the Internet in order to protect their own information space. The combination of these security measures is called “cyber hygiene”. This article is devoted to the problems of legal support for the developing concept of “cyber hygiene”, which at present plays a decisive role in protecting, not only the information infrastructure of modern business, but also the data of individual users. The author focuses on the fact that, currently, the conceptual apparatus of legal support in the practice of information relations in the field of cyber hygiene has not yet been formed. At the same time, the importance and necessity of the formation and development of this legal concept is emphasized on the basis of an analysis of growing cybercrimes, indicating a still insufficient level of cyber hygiene.
