The article focuses on security research in cyberspace, in particular in the context of the cyber threat. It is emphasized that under current conditions a number of strategically important objects of economic, infrastructural and defense sectors using information and telecommunication systems are potentially objects of high risk due to consequences and their level of vulnerability to external invasion.The article places emphasis on some discussion among researchers by type of threat. Attention is paid to the belief that, also taking into account the general methodological approaches to the assessment of risks of the proliferation of threats, these threat factors are primarily not threats, but internal factors that contribute to the spread of cyber threats and could be characterized as the ability of the system to counteract the proliferation of these threats or as vulnerability of society.With this as a background of cybercrime, which is typical not only for Ukraine but for the whole world society. It has been pointed out that the Convention on Cybercrime has approached the classification of cybercrime in a rather generalized manner, and that certain actions in cyberspace which clearly cause significant losses to the subjects of information relations have been left out of its attention.Under the contemporary conditions, a special type of cyber threat is the spread of cyberterrorism, the global nature of the technical base of which and its accessibility have determined the special features of this type of terrorism. It was noted that cyberterrorism from cybercrime differs by its openness, when the terrorist's demands are widely covered by the media. Solving the problem of combating cyberterrorism is based on a comprehensive approach and has legal, organizational, psychological and technical components. At the same time, the key problem remains the legal regulation of the use of cyberspace, as well as legal conflicts and gaps in legislation, resulting in an untimely and inadequate response by law enforcement agencies to damage to information, information and telecommunications networks, the reputation of citizens and so on.
