The article considers certain aspects of the development of international cooperation in the field of cybersecurity in Ukraine. It emphasizes the priority of issues of cyberspace protection, the importance of continuing cooperation with foreign partners in the field of cybersecurity and the introduction of new initiatives to strengthen cyber defense and deepen cooperation with the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance. The norms of current regulatory legal acts and strategic planning documents in the field of cybersecurity are considered. Individual provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the Basic Principles of Ensuring Cybersecurity of Ukraine”, the Cybersecurity Strategy of Ukraine and the EU Cybersecurity Strategy for the Digital Decade are analyzed. It is established that an important strategic aspect is ensuring active participation in the dialogue within international organizations on the joint development of norms of behavior in cyberspace and improving the relevant regulatory and legal framework. The importance of building an effective national cybersecurity system and deepening international cooperation in this area, which should be systematic and consistent, has been proven. It is noted that cybersecurity is currently a critical problem that requires increased attention, including from researchers. The need to deepen European integration processes by unifying approaches, methods and means of ensuring cybersecurity with established NATO practices has been emphasized. The following promising areas for further development of international cooperation have been identified: cooperation with international partners in the field of cybersecurity through interaction and active participation in new initiatives to strengthen cyber defense, counter cyber threats and cyber attacks; systematic exchange of research and innovations, experience in building and effective functioning of national cybersecurity systems, and improvement of national legislation in the field of cybersecurity. The conclusions are drawn that the creation of an effective national system of cybersecurity and cyberspace protection is impossible without the activation of international cooperation in this area, which must be accompanied by comprehensive scientific research and have a systemic, dynamic, and consistent nature.
