Methodological foundations of information security research

Abstract

The lack of an established approach to methodological research in information security determines the further development of scientific knowledge and changes in paradigms and becomes especially relevant considering the aggression of the Russian Federation and the need to strengthen the information security of Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to identify the principles of information security research methodology. To fulfil this purpose, general philosophical methods of investigating legal phenomena were applied, namely the analysis of corresponding legislation and theoretical solutions. This paper, considering the latest theory of state and law and information law of Ukraine, considering the current legislation and regulatory requirements of the European Union, outlined abstract and logical aspects of the methodological foundations of information security research in the context of digital transformation and Russian information expansion. It was noted that addressing the topic of interdisciplinary research is closely related to a fundamentally new historical situation, which reveals the construction of information relations of a new type between social groups, covering philosophy, political science, sociology, economics, and law. This study considered the activity-based, system-structural, system-functional, informational, integration, predictive, methodological, and paradigmatic scientific approaches to the study of legal phenomena. It was indicated that information security is of particular importance for the design of innovative social systems in the context of digital transformation, which requires further scientific research on the methodology of scientific intelligence in information security. The study was aimed at improving the research methods of information security and protection of individuals, society, and the state from destructive informational influence covered by the object of information security.

“…However, the authors highlight the increasing role of private institutions in shaping the European cybersecurity system and believe that this is a positive practice if such institutions do not have preferences and are governed by a common legal framework. Since in Ukraine, the influence of private entities on the security of the national economy is minimal, this notion may be worth considering (Yesimov & Borovikova, 2023). Methods of detecting credit card fraud in the banking industry were studied by E. Btoush et al (2021).…”

Blockchain and fintech technologies in the digital space of financial and industrial companies

“…In summary, this article provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of fintech research. Although, it does not delve into regional variations and differences in fintech adoption across different countries [30], [31]. In addition, the researchers do not extensively address the social and ethical implications of fintech, such as data privacy concerns, digital divide issues, or the impact on vulnerable populations.…”
