Abstract

In today's digital world, cybersecurity is one of the most important aspects of modern technologies. The need for cybersecurity is higher than ever due to increased internet addiction and increased use of electronic devices. Cybersecurity issues are directly related to the issues of national security of the state. The internet and social networks can be used to control public consciousness, to influence certain social groups. Currently, the large-scale use of digital technologies has become an integral part of meeting the daily needs of citizens. Digital transformation helps companies adapt to the demands of a changing market and implement progressive models for doing business. Industry leaders are seriously paying attention to the issue of transferring their processes to digital and achieving technological superiority over their competitors. This makes it possible to increase the efficiency of processes, and, as a result, improve the quality of products and services, as well as significantly increase the income of shareholders and business owners. One of the most effective conditions for cybersecurity is the integration of modern artificial intelligence technologies, big data analysis and cloud solutions, which will make it possible to promptly detect threats, minimize risks and prevent cybersecurity. The relevance of the topic of cybersecurity in the financial sector is due not only to the growing number and complexity of attacks, but also to the growing demands of regulators, customers and international partners. Ensuring the stability of the IT infrastructure in the context of digitalization of the economy is a key factor in trust in financial institutions. At the same time, against the background of such global trends as remote work, digital currencies and open banking, the spectrum of threats is expanding, which requires adapting existing approaches to Information Protection. This study is aimed at identifying the main aspects of ensuring cybersecurity in the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account the best international practices and regulatory standards.
