INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS OF UKRAINE`S INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY UNDER MARTIAL LAW: A RESEARCH CONCEPT

Abstract

The article reveals the research concept of institutional factors shaping Ukraine’s information security policy under martial law. The relevance of the study is determined by the intensification of information threats during the period of martial law and the growing role of information security as one of the key components of ensuring Ukraine’s national security in the context of the full-scale armed aggression of the russian federation against the state. The article analyzes theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding information security as a multidimensional phenomenon that integrates legal, political, organizational, and communicative components. Special attention is paid to the impact of martial law on the transformation of Ukraine’s information security policy. It is substantiated that the war has become a catalyst for institutional changes aimed at strengthening the resilience of the information space, developing strategic communications, and enhancing counteraction to disinformation. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the necessity of maintaining a balance between security imperatives and democratic standards within the framework of Ukraine’s European integration course. The study concludes that institutional factors determine not only the state’s capacity to respond to current information threats but also shape the strategic foundations of information security policy under martial law, ensuring its adaptability and long-term effectiveness.
