Abstract: The subject of the study is cloud storage. The object of the study is the information security of cloud systems. In the course of the work, the regulatory framework was determined, which allows regulating work with cloud technologies at the legislative level. The Russian and foreign statistical data on the use of cloud technologies by corporate clients and individuals were analyzed, the main specific security problems of cloud solutions were identified, such as data storage, the use of modular infrastructure in the cloud, the vulnerability of virtual machines to malware infection, connection instability, access rights differentiation, unbalanced actions of the client and the cloud service provider.   In the course of the work, the concept of building multi-level security of cloud systems was formulated. This approach will not only increase the time spent, but also the complexity of the process of infiltration of an attacker into the system, which will increase the chances of timely recognition and prevention of various types of attacks. A solution for building a security system was proposed, which includes the following steps: choosing reliable encryption and authentication methods, using a firewall to filter traffic and prevent intrusions, ensuring data transmission over the Internet in a secure execution, using an intrusion detection and prevention system.

Abstract: The author analyzes the current state of extremist and terrorist crime, as well as the main trends in the commission of individual crimes in 2022 and 2023. The choice of this time period is due to the increased threats to the national security of the Russian Federation. Attention is drawn to the indicators of crimes provided for in Articles 205, 205.2, 281, 357 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Based on the evaluation of statistical data, information about the current criminogenic situation was obtained. There was a slowdown in the growth rate of the number of public calls for extremist activity (Article 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and the facts of incitement to hatred or enmity (Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The intensification of terrorist and sabotage activities is stated. The materials of separate foreign studies concerning destructive activity in the information sphere are analyzed. Conclusions are drawn about the need to consider extremist and terrorist activities in the context of information warfare and the use of information weapons. With this in mind, it is proposed to take a number of measures in the field of information security. As a measure to counteract new threats to national security, the urgent need to systematize and publish information that became known during the investigation of criminal cases initiated on the facts of the genocide of the Russian-speaking population in the period from 2014 and the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War is called. It is proposed to consider the issue of securing in Russian legislation the powers of the Security Council of the Russian Federation to declare a State carrying out terrorist activities as a sponsor of terrorism.

Abstract: In this paper the author discusses such an urgent problem for the environmental safety of the Black Sea region as drought. The frequency of droughts lasting more than three decades in the period from April to August inclusive is considered on the basis of data on monthly precipitation and mean monthly temperatures shown from 1950 to 1999. There were seven two-month droughts and one three-month drought. The frequency of droughts in separate months is calculated. The change over the years of the maximum value of the El Niño index per episode from 1950 to 2023 is analyzed. The connection of two-month droughts with this parameter is noted. Based on the results of the study conducted in this paper, the author comes to conclusions about the regularities in the manifestation of severe droughts in the Black Sea region. In particular, it was concluded that in recent decades, strong manifestations of El Niño recur no more often than after 15 years. This makes it possible to predict episodes with an index value of more than 2.6 not earlier than 2030. It is especially noted that so far the main danger in Crimea is two-month droughts. During the considered 50 years of drought lasting more than six decades in a row in the period from April to August, there were 8 times.

Abstract: The article discusses the issues of ensuring information, digital, and cybersecurity, which is an urgent, strategic task at both the national and international levels. It is established that in the current conditions of the global crisis and geopolitical changes, new approaches to the legal regulation of information security are needed. An urgent problem has been identified not only at the national, but also at the international level. In this regard, it requires the identification of new external and internal threats in the information sphere, as well as the study and forecasting of prospects for the development of international regulation of information security. The conducted research allowed us to conclude that in the conditions of digital transformation, it is necessary to work out and strengthen scientific and legal positions regarding the development of legal support for information security. In the course of the research, the author concluded that at the present stage of development of society and the state, among the most urgent threats to national information security due to the dynamism of the information sphere, it is possible to single out such threats as illegal impact on national information resources, information and telecommunication systems and information infrastructure, including critical information structures; the use of means and methods of spreading false (fake) information for the purpose of disinformation of an indefinite circle of people using illegal methods and means, including cognitive methods of influencing the human psyche in order to disorganize and suppress the will; unauthorized interference in the national information space.

Abstract: This article is devoted to the negative impact of illegal migration on the expansion of the consumption of narcotic and psychotropic substances. The analysis of the statistics of migrants involved in drug trafficking is given. The effectiveness of the legal measures taken to improve the drug situation in the country is investigated, their insufficiency is emphasized. For further analysis of the situation, the factors influencing the political risks of national security are proposed. The necessity of increased attention to illegal migration and illicit drug trafficking as unmanageable risks for the purpose of their manageability is substantiated. A statistical analysis was carried out on the problems considered in the article to substantiate the relevance of the results obtained. The scientific novelty of the article consists in the identification and analysis of four main groups of political threats of illegal migration (political-legal, economic-legal, criminal-legal, social-legal). The presented article makes it possible to understand in which cases illegal migration poses a threat to the population drug addiction and undermines country's security. It is concluded that the main dangers of uncontrolled risks are: the unknown conditions of their occurrence and the lack of effective measures to counteract them. The analysis of the current situation with migration flows made it possible to come to the conclusion that illegal migration, together with the accompanying drug addiction of citizens, should be classified as threats and risks to national security. This makes it necessary to expand the means and forces in the fight against this negative and dangerous phenomenon.

Abstract: The subject of the study is a scientific and methodological apparatus for designing systems of physical protection of objects that ensure the detection of items made of non-standard materials prohibited from being brought into the protected area. The object of the study is the process of detecting weapons made of polymer materials using special technical means. The aim of the work is to develop the scientific and methodological apparatus for designing systems of physical protection of objects in the direction of updating the models of violators due to the systematic presentation of methods of unauthorized passage of weapons made of polymer materials. The methods of system analysis are used in the work. The authors note the possibility of using 3D weapons as a new means of implementing security threats to objects. In the interests of countering such threats, research is being conducted on the introduction of terahertz (sub-terahertz) personal inspection complexes that detect objects made of non-standard materials hidden under clothing on the body of the object of inspection, as well as determining the main methods of concealed 3D weapons to create adequate models of violators necessary for the design of new and improvement of existing systems of physical protection of objects. The paper presents the characteristics and results of a comparative analysis of the main methods of concealed carrying of such weapons. In conclusion, it is noted that the identification of 3D weapons is complicated by the fact that the details can be modified to make it difficult for security personnel, operators of complexes at the inspection point and machine vision tools to recognize them. The results of the study can be used during the design of physical protection systems for objects that ensure the detection of prohibited items made of non-standard materials. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the development of a scientific and methodological apparatus for designing systems of physical protection of objects by developing intruder models that take into account the methods of concealed carrying of weapons made of polymer materials.
