Abstract
In the context of the development of the information society, data has become an object of criminal encroachments aimed at destabilizing social processes within the state. The public sector infrastructure especially appeals to cyber criminals seeking to obtain confidential information about citizens who utilize government services. Despite active information security policy, the Russian Federation faces challenges in mitigating the impact and consequences of information threats affecting government institutions. An analysis of various factors contributing to these threats reveals that a significant element is social behavior, which includes irresponsible actions by citizens regarding their data, such as opening phishing emails and responding to psychological manipulation by cybercriminals. An analysis of the information threats confirmed the thesis that the public sector has been the target of persistent cyberattacks in recent years. As a result of this employees of government agencies often become the subject of neutralization of the existing information security system in the sector. The aim of this research is to examine the specific information threats and the factors that facilitate their proliferation in the public sector of modern Russia. The article reviews existing studies on information security within government agencies and public institutions, which helps to clarify the system of information threats and their characteristics. The findings presented offer a comprehensive overview of information threats facing the public sector in the Russian Federation.
