Summary of the main results of the study. Based on the analysis of the current legislation of Ukraine on ensuring the security of cyberspace, as well as a generalization of the provisions of the documents of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine on cybersecurity, the main threats to national cyberspace are identified. In particular, these are the constant aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in cyberspace, the growth of the level of cybercrime, cyber espionage, intelligence and subversive activities, and the use of cyberspace by terrorist organizations to commit acts of cyberterrorism.The author's version of the systematization of the administrative and legal principles of countering cybersecurity threats in Ukraine is presented: the formation of a holistic institutional system for countering cybersecurity threats led by the National Security and Defense Council, the implementation of specific forms of response to cyber threats (cyber defense measures of Ukraine, ensuring the continuous implementation of counterintelligence measures to detect, prevent and terminate intelligence and subversive activities of foreign states in cyberspace, the use of economic, diplomatic, intelligence measures, and the involvement of the potential of the private sector), the constant development of an active policy of cooperation with the European Union to develop and implement joint actions aimed at countering cyber threats. The provisions of the EU Cybersecurity Strategy for 2020-2030 are analyzed in terms of borrowing its provisions into regulatory documents on the prevention of cyber threats at the national level.

The conclusion is summarized that modern Ukraine has formed a system of organizational and legal principles for preventing and countering cyber threats that face the national information environment. In order to monitor the level of their effectiveness, it is proposed to deepen the joint efforts of representatives of legal science, the expert community, employees of government bodies, the Security and Defense Sector in order to promptly develop joint effective approaches to preventing cyber threats.
