https://doi.org/10.29235/1818-9857-2026-06-37-45
Abstract
The definitions of the terms «cybercrime» and «cyberoffense» have been clarified, and the main forms and trends of criminal activity in the digital space have been analyzed. The paper examines its economic implications and analyzes the key provisions of the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) and the policy documents of individual countries. Measures have been proposed to improve the system for combating cybercrime in the context of digital globalization, including the development of a national cybersecurity system, the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in the work of government agencies, the improvement of the regulatory framework, the strengthening of international cooperation, and the development of human resources in this field. The results of the study can be used in the development of public policy in the field of digital security and combating cybercrime.
