Protection of Big Data as an Element of the National Security Structure of the State

The purpose of this study is to study the sources of threats to the national security of the state from computer criminals. The objects of their encroachment are big data, which stores users' personal information, corporate and government information. In addition, there may always be situations within economic relations, political and social processes that attract criminals and force them to be active.

The objectives of the study are to develop proposals to reduce threats to the national security of the state and to ensure the protection of big data. The encroachment of criminals on big data is carried out to destabilize the work of state authorities, to disorganize the work of information systems. These actions can pose a physical threat to people's lives, create a threat of death, financial losses. Criminals can use the technique to violate public safety, put pressure on public authorities, create a stir and panic among the population.

It has been established that the main methods of combating criminals include the development of an appropriate legislative framework and the creation of authorized bodies that will investigate such crimes. The legislator has already adopted several documents setting priorities, goals and objectives of combating crimes in the field of big data. Despite the work done, the laws governing relations in the virtual space are still at the initial level of development. It is necessary to adapt to the reality in which the growth of technology generates new types of crime.

It is concluded that it will be necessary to solve a number of problems, only then it will be possible to stop the actions of criminals effectively. Today, the problems lie in the fact that many areas, even within the country, are in poor contact with each other. For example, banking and other financial organizations, mobile operators cooperate extremely poorly with law enforcement agencies. There is no common information exchange system. Due to this, criminals can hide the traces of crimes and hide themselves.
