One of the key problems of the world community at present is the unprecedented exacerbation of the problem of cybercrime, which leads to the growth of cyber risks and cyber threats to the activities of the subjects of the global economy. In Russia, there is currently an increase in cybercrime. The relevance of this study is underscored by the necessity to investigate cybersecurity issues in Russia and to address these problems for the purpose of ensuring sustainable socio-economic development in the country. The aim of this article is to systematize the types of information risks and factors contributing to the growth of cyber threats in Russia and globally, which exert a destructive impact on the financial and economic stability at both national and global levels. The research methodology includes structuring, comparison, generalization, systemic, economic, institutional, logical analysis. Based on the findings of the study, the authors conclude that modern cybercrime largely possesses a transnational character, and the manifestation of escalating risks undermines the financial and economic sovereignty of countries worldwide. This situation necessitates the need of creation of institutions that promote the assurance of cybersecurity in Russia and other countries of the world.
