Abstract

In the context of digitalization, the growing role of information security in higher education requires a comprehensive approach that will ensure high-quality regulatory and legal regulation, the development of cyber hygiene, the protection of intellectual property, and effective information risk management. The article aims to analyses and evaluate current challenges and opportunities for improving state information security policy measures in higher education. In addition to the general scientific methods of theoretical substantiation, in particular synthesis, systematization and generalization, this study analyzed the regulatory framework and statistical data characterizing the current state of information security of higher education institutions. In addition, a correlation analysis was carried out between the number of students and information security indicators of higher education institutions in Ukraine. The analysis's results show that concentrating fewer students in the system can contribute to better protection of digital services through a focus on quality. This confirms the analysis's initial assumption of a positive correlation with the Protection of digital services (B = -0.43 at p = -0.099; M = 0.715 at p = 0.549). High p-values in the correlation analysis indicate the possibility of random relationships, which requires further verification using larger samples and additional methods. Recommendations for improving information security in higher education include the introduction of unified cybersecurity standards for educational institutions, the development of specialized legislation to protect scientific data and confidential information, the promotion of research and education initiatives in the field of information security through state funding, the creation of focal points for data exchange between universities and government agencies, and active participation in international projects within the framework of European integration.
