Characteristic of the sources of international law in cybersecurity

Abstract

Information law, which includes cybersecurity in international relations as its main component, is a relatively new area of legal research, the required doctrinal level of which has not been achieved today on all the issues it raised. We believe that the name “legal support of cybersecurity” is hardly appropriate, since the law regulates the issues of any provision of cybersecurity (technical, technological and organizational), and not only legal, albeit exclusively by legal means. In this work general scientific, specific scientific and other research methods were used, such as sociological, historical, formal logical, comparative legal. The normative legal base was formed by the norms of international law, published and unpublished materials of domestic and international legal practice, author's empirical research in the field of international and information law. The conclusion about the isolation and systemic independence of cybersecurity law can also be reached based on the results of the study of the main elements of legal technology in the field of cybersecurity: strategy and tactics, legal framework and resource availability, external and internal (procedural) forms and types. Taking into account the above positions, it is quite possible to talk about the law of cybersecurity as an independent institution of international information law.
