Abstract

It is shown that the construction of an established system of cybersecurity of the state in the context of globalization, development of information technologies, transfer of “hybrid wars” to cyberspace, requires improving the quality of training, on which depends the reliability of national cyberspace. It is specified that the key indicator of qualification of specialists in the field of cybersecurity is competence, but their final definition and actual content, in accordance with the requirements of rapid technical and technological development, requires substantiation of theoretical principles that are the object of study. It is substantiated that an essential component of the theoretical basis for determining the system of competencies is a certain set of factors that determine its constitution and determine the subject and purpose of the study. The key factors that need to be taken into account in determining professional competencies are the following: the requirements of the modern education system; the systemic nature of the processes unfolding in global cyberspace; conceptual principles of cybersecurity; rapid development of information technologies and the transition to a quantum basis; new threats to national security arising from the convergence of information and high-tech technologies; cyberattacks aimed at government agencies and national security structures; attempts at destructive psychological influence on the personnel of the security and defense sector; Ukraine's course towards Euro-Atlantic integration, harmonization of the national system of standards with NATO standards in the field of cyber security; increasing the riskiness of professional activity; challenges of gender policy to achieve gender equality in the field of security and defense of Ukraine. Therefore, it should be noted that the training of specialists in the field of cybersecurity in the interests of the future of the country should be based on a certain, methodologically sound system of competencies, the implementation of which should lead to quality training in professional activities in the field of cyberspace.
