Exploitable hosts used in cloud native cyber attacks

The article states that in recent years global cyberspace has been more objectively assessed by the world community as one of the most important security priorities, as its functioning is a significant factor in the development of the economy, military, social, security and other sectors. The threat of hacking Internet systems with criminal intent or in the interests of special services of foreign countries is on the same level as terrorism, espionage and the use of weapons of mass destruction. Taking into account the insufficient experience of counteracting the specified negative phenomena by special entities, the help of foreign partners and the use of their diverse efforts in this direction is considered relevant. Taking into account the above, the purpose of the article is to analyze the organizational activities of certain special entities of foreign states in the field of cyber security. It is claimed that special services of the Russian Federation are purposefully carrying out cyber attack campaigns in the USA and EU countries. These challenges led to the formation of the socalled cyber troops Analyzing open sources of information, we can come to the conclusion that at the official level their existence is recognized only in a part of the countries in the world (USA, Iraq, Great Britain, Russian Federation, etc.), but in reality they function in almost every developed state. It is noted that currently Ukraine organizes cooperation with international partners on a systematic basis, and one of the priority steps should be the development of national legislation taking into account the provisions of the updated strategy of the European Union in the field of cyber security in the conditions of digital modernization for the coming years. One of the primary tasks in the specified area is also the formation of an effective mechanism for ensuring the security of the information space, taking into account the relevant best international experience. To a large extent, this concerns our country in view of European integration hopes, the need to implement effective mechanisms for the development of the economy, modern information technologies, etc., and the country’s stay in a state of «undeclared war» on the part of the Russian Federation.
