CONTENT AND FEATURES OF EXPERT SAMPLING IN CYBER RISK ASSESSMENT

Abstract

The article examines modern approaches to cybersecurity, in particular the concept of cyber resilience, which includes not only protection against attacks but also the ability of organizations to quickly recover from incidents. International and national regulatory documents governing cybersecurity are analyzed. The key threats in cyberspace and the need to implement a risk-based approach to assess and minimize potential dangers are identified. Considerable attention is paid to analytical methods of cyber risk assessment based on data collection, processing and classification. An important component of cybersecurity is an interdisciplinary approach that combines criminological, sociological, and mathematical methods for effective threat management. The study was conducted on the basis of an expert survey of representatives of the public sector, law enforcement agencies, military administrations, scientific institutions, and critical infrastructure enterprises. The study reveals significant variability in the assessment of cyber threats depending on the experience of specialists, which emphasizes the importance of involving a wide range of experts in the formation of strategic decisions in the field of cybersecurity. The article substantiates the need to develop effective mechanisms for countering cybercrime based on a comprehensive threat analysis and implementation of cyber resilience tools. The author proposes the main directions of development of the national cybersecurity system of Ukraine, in particular, improvement of the legislative framework, introduction of innovative technologies for big data analysis and expansion of training programs for specialists in this area. The results obtained can be used to improve the state policy in the field of cybersecurity, develop regulations aimed at reducing cyber risks, and create effective threat assessment methods. Further research should focus on a deeper analysis of risks, taking into account international experience and technological innovations, which will increase the level of cyber defense of government agencies, enterprises and civil society.
