The dissertation presents a theoretical generalization and a new solution of scientific and theoretical problem, which is to substantiate the theoretical foundations of the formation and development of mechanisms for information security of the state in the system of public governance of Ukraine in the formation of a global information society and proposals for their improvement.
It is established that the processes of globalization and the formation of the global information society raise to a fundamentally new level the issue of information security for people, communities, the state, society at the national and global levels. The classification of the main threats that exist in the information space is proposed and the model of the "threat tree" of the global information space is presented.
It is proved that in the information society and the global information space of information flows, the whole set of information and communication relations and systems of their regulation play a systemic role in the life of human communities and have a decisive influence on the state and dynamics of political, socio-economic, military-defense, spiritual cultural and other components of socio-political life of man, the whole system of public administration of the country. In each of these areas, information security plays an important role, which is increasingly coming to the forefront of overall national security, and this trend will only continue to grow.

It is proved that one of the key characteristics of the global information space is the gradual movement into the information environment of most geopolitical processes and relations between states, peoples or individual institutions and people. Information and information technologies are increasingly becoming the main weapon in the interstate confrontation, which led to the emergence and extremely rapid development of such a socio-political phenomenon as information wars, which are a qualitatively new radical form of latent and asymmetric geopolitical and domestic political conflicts. interests of the subjects of information warfare, where the main weapons are information, Internet and mass communication channels aimed at the desired change of public consciousness, basic values and political orientations of citizens, political elite and senior management of the opposing state and its information enslavement.
The key problems of information security of Ukraine have been identified, which make our state vulnerable in the information war and are quite actively used in the information war against our state by the Russian Federation.
