Information security as a driver for the development of economic processes in the region in the digital economy

It is impossible to imagine the digital transformation of the economy without the development of the IT market and the use of information and communication technology and technologies in business processes. The development of the digital economy assumes that the higher the level of information security of a company or organization, the more opportunities it has to use advanced information and communication technologies in economic processes. It is this intangible asset, which cannot be bought for money, that represents an immeasurably high price, consisting of such essential assets as the image, business reputation of the organization/company, financial stability, if we are talking about the company. The effectiveness of information security work is determined by its effectiveness on the ground, in each subject of the Russian Federation. In the article, the authors provide a list of normative acts regulating information security, as well as similar documents at the regional level. The unstable situation that has developed during the special military operation forces us to look for new ways to improve information security in order to minimize risks in the future. The authors describe effective information security tools using the example of the Republic of Tatarstan. The authors consider the experience of the Republic of Tatarstan as one of the leaders of digital transformation, and according to the rating of Skolkovo, which is in the top five regions for digital transformation of public administration. The development of data processing centers (data centers) in the region will help mitigate the effects of the crisis and open up new opportunities. Thus, regional data centers are one of the effective tools of information security.
