“…It can be concluded that the scale, variety and complexity of cyber threats are growing significantly. The existing security strategies, which are mandatory to combat cybercrime, will not be able to meet the future requirements that will arise in the post-war crisis era (Guitton and Fréchette, 2023). The researchers state that network dynamics with the help of artificial intelligence for specific tasks should be implanted in the process of exchanging accumulated experience between experts.…”

The objective of the article was to identify new threats to the national security of countries and, at the same time, to determine the adaptation tasks related to their identification. The synergistic approach, comparative legal analysis methods and foresight were the main tools of this research. Manipulation actions involving deep forgeries are spreading rapidly. Autonomous weapons with artificial intelligence are used to create negative fake events. Criminal use of users’ smart devices to create a unique behavioural profile has been detected. New cyber threats to Ukraine’s national security during the military conflict are characterized by attempts to disrupt critical infrastructure. It is concluded that “cyber looting” has emerged with the use of social engineering methods. The activities of the Belgian Center for Cyber Security (CCB) are a positive example of the identification of new cyber threats in the countries of the European Union EU. Furthermore, CCB performs activities related to the identification, monitoring and analysis of online security issues. Coordination between relevant services and agencies, public authorities, private sector and academia is ensured.

Counterintelligence (CI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) represent two distinct yet interconnected domains that play pivotal roles in safeguarding National and International Security. On the first hand, CI involves activities and measures taken to identify, prevent and counter any Intelligence activities of hostile entities, such as spying, sabotage and information gathering. On the other hand, AI refers to the development and use of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning and problem-solving. Subsequently, in the ever-evolving landscape of global security, the rise of AI has ushered in a new era of CI practices. The present paper delves into the intersection of CI and AI, exploring the profound impact of AI on the CI processes and how it is transforming National Security strategies, highlighting at the same time the fields of mutually influence. Ultimately, underscores the imperative of harnessing AI's potential to strengthen CI efforts in an ever-evolving threat landscape. Plus, it investigates the ethical concerns and privacy implications associated with AI in CI emphasizing the imperative of responsible AI development and deployment. Finally, through comprehensive international case studies, offers insights into how United States, China, Russia and Israel have integrated AI into their Intelligence and CI strategies, shedding light on the diverse approaches and challenges faced by different countries. Summarizing, the paper underscores the potential synergy between AI and CI, while also acknowledging the formidable challenges it presents, such as privacy concerns and adversarial AI. Striking a balance between harnessing AI's power and safeguarding national interests remains a pivotal task for policymakers and intelligence agencies in the ever-evolving landscape of national security.

The problem solved in this article is to determine the possibilities and advantages of a culturological approach to solving the problem of developing a general civil culture of Internet communications security. The subject of the study is the structural and functional features of this culture, and the object is the evolution of the formation of the corresponding complex of beliefs, knowledge, skills and abilities. The topic of expanding from a highly professional to a general civil culture of Internet communications security is considered. The increase in the share and importance of socio-cultural aspects compared with technical factors is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the substantive aspects of the general civil culture of Internet communications security: the insufficiency of methods for broadcasting rules and relevant examples to a mass audience, as well as the underestimation of the formation of intuitive caution, the ability to recognize threats in a timely manner and respond correctly to incidents. The novelty lies in the postulation of the high representativeness of the security culture of financial Internet services, due to the combination of the mass nature of civilian users and transactions with funds that are highly attractive to intruders. It was here that mass Internet crime was first formed, threats and methods of attacks and, accordingly, security tools evolved. The conclusion is made: the experience of countering "social engineering" in the field of mass financial services is useful as a basis for the formation and development of a general civil culture of Internet communications security, including socio-cultural threats: fake news, disinformation, destructive and prohibited content, and others.
