JEL Classifications: M5, Q2 INTRODUCTION At the same time, the considerable opportunities and benefits of the proliferation of digital technologies have led to a number of social and ethical issues. There is growing public concern about the digital divide in different countries, the threat of online safety of citizens, and the health risks of using ICT. In addition, new types of crime occurred in cyberspace: abuse of information, violation of data transmission security, intellectual property infringement (plagiarism and piracy), online propaganda, radicalization. Separate crimes show violations of basic human rights: cyber-bullying, cyber-fraud, sex-traffic, pornography, identity theft, etc. Disturbing reports by heads of different countries on the negative impact of ICT force the national level to apply censorship or strict rules for its use and access to the Internet, filtering and blocking content. Security in cyberspace and the prevention of cybercrime are critically important factors in the welfare of society. The urgency of the study is due to the rapid spread of information technology in all spheres of modern society, which requires high-quality training of professionals, who form a new generation of representatives of high-tech society, capable of transmitting, storing and processing information in cyberspace, resisting unauthorized interference in the information environment.
