INFORMATION SECURITY RISK ANALYSIS IN REGIONAL POLICIES OF DEVELOPED COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD

Abstract

In the era of digital technology development, ensuring information security has become an important priority in diplomacy and world politics, due to the addiction of states from IT technologies and the emerging cyber risks against this background. At the same time, information security risks pose a complex problem for global political actors, influencing their political and economic landscape. In this study, the authors present a comprehensive comparative analysis of information security risks using the example of the United States, the European Union and China, examine the countries' political approaches, economic ambitions and consequences, and also analyze the impact of cyber threats on the regional policies of key regional players. The article's research question focuses on understanding how changing political dynamics and economic aspirations shape the information security strategies of these regions. The research methodology includes the collection, analysis, systematic and comparative study of data, which allows us to obtain a holistic view of the information security landscape of each region. In addition, based on the comparative analysis, the authors compiled a table in which the economic and political aspects of information security in the compared countries were studied. Key results show that in the United States, special attention is paid to public-private partnerships and innovation to counter cyber threats, the European Union emphasizes cooperation and harmonization of cybersecurity regulations, while China focuses on enhancing cyber sovereignty and national security. As part of the analysis, the authors trace the relationship between politics, economics and information security risks, highlighting areas of convergence and divergence between regions. The authors also provided conclusions and recommendations for eliminating incoming cyber threats for the sustainable development of cybersecurity in the regions.
