Forensic aspects of ensuring information security and protection of information

The work is devoted to the analysis of forensic aspects of ensuring information security and protection of information within the framework of pre-trial proceedings. The absence of a stable definition of the concept of information security in forensic science is noted, which complicates its normative and applied use in evidentiary activities. The theoretical and practical grounds for integrating the principles of information protection into the structure of criminal prosecution are revealed. The features of using forensic tools for the purpose of protecting evidentiary information from loss, distortion and unauthorized access are considered. The importance of an interdisciplinary approach in developing effective methods for recording and storing digital traces is emphasized. The need to systematize the conceptual apparatus and develop uniform standards that ensure the reliability and admissibility of information obtained during the investigation is substantiated.
