Abstract

To successfully counter information threats in the future, it is essential to understand the causes and trends in the development of cyberspace.Over the past years, there has been a noticeable increase in the diversity of cybersecurity threats. This trend is driven by both the widespread adoption of digital platforms in everyday life and the increasing role of social media as communication channels.

Social engineering remains a primary attack vector against both individuals and organizations. Enhancements in its techniques simplify the acquisition of critical information about potential targets and enable their exploitation through various communication channels.

At the national security level, cybersecurity threats are increasingly aimed at destabilizing social order and provoking conflicts within society. This reflects the challenge governments face in defending their national cyberspace.

The innovative changes that occurred in 2022-23 have significantly altered cybersecurity trends, as evidenced by statistics on the emergence and realization of information security threats.

The innovative changes that occurred in 2022-23 have significantly altered cybersecurity trends, as evidenced by statistics on the emergence and realization of information security threats.

Generative language models, while not directly threatening to cybersecurity, amplify the methods of social engineering and attacks that utilize them. The deployment of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity has shown particularly well results in network monitoring and encrypted traffic analysis.

Concurrently, the development of quantum computers threatens existing data encryption systems and prompts advancements in cryptography through the quantum transition.ntly, the development of quantum computers threatens existing data encryption systems and prompts advancements in cryptography through the quantum transition.
