Information technology industry state support as a key problem of ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation

The article analyzes the state support provided by the authorities of the Russian Federation to the information technology industry from the point of ensuring national security. The authors also set a goal to identify the shortcomings of the support, based on regulatory legal acts that have been adopted over the year 2021. The study emphasizes that, despite the balanced approach of the legislator to solving key issues, such as the lack of an unambiguous understanding of some legal categories, gaps in education legislation, insufficient attention to some types of digital technologies, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of public administration and further support of the industry development. Сurrently there is a tendency in the world to tighten legislation in the field of violations in the virtual space, and many states are seeking to streamline and systematize the use of digital technologies, including big data. At the same time, of course, it is not allowed to ignore the fundamental rights and freedoms of the end user. The legislative experience of the European Union is given as an example. Special attention is paid to the need to control the process of knowledge transmission in the information sphere. The novelty and relevance of the study lies in the fact that its main provisions are considered for the first time in Russian humanitarian knowledge. The authors believe that only the question of the conceptual and categorical apparatus was previously considered by Russian specialists, but the conclusions of many researchers are already outdated. The paper also states that in the conditions of rapidly developing digital technologies, it is necessary to create importsubstituting equipment, systems and software that will reduce the digital divide, if it grows.
