Annotation.
In the modern world, digital security plays a key role in ensuring the protection
of data, information systems and cyber infrastructure. In Uzbekistan, as in other countries,
with the development of digital technologies, the risks associated with cyber threats, data
leaks, fraud and unauthorized access to information are growing. In this article, we consider
the main problems of digital security in Uzbekistan, analyze existing threats and assess the
measures taken to prevent them. We pay special attention to legislative initiatives,
international cooperation and modern technologies for information protection.
Keywords:
digital security, cyber threats, cyber attacks, data protection, cyber fraud, digital
safety, international cooperation.
Introduction.
In recent years, Uzbekistan has been actively moving towards
digitalization, introducing modern technologies into various areas of the economy and social
life. However, the rapid development of digital technologies is accompanied by an increase in
cyber threats and requires increased attention to digital security issues.
In response to these challenges, Uzbekistan has adopted important legislative
initiatives aimed at strengthening digital security:
●
Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. ZRU-964 dated September 20, 2024
introduced amendments and additions to existing regulations in order to strengthen
information security in the activities of credit and non-bank credit organizations, as well as in
the e-government system. This law is aimed at preventing offenses committed using
information and communication technologies
●
Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. ZRU-1003 dated November 21, 2024
provides for the improvement of the system of working with digital evidence, strengthening
guarantees for the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens and
organizations. Amendments have been made to the laws "On Notaries", "On Arbitration
Courts" and "On Forensic Examination", establishing the procedure for the examination and
study of digital evidence
In addition, within the framework of the Digital Uzbekistan 2030 program, special
attention is paid to cyber hygiene issues as the basis of legal culture in a digital society. This

emphasizes the need to improve the digital literacy of the population to ensure a sustainable
digital environment.
.
Thus, Uzbekistan is taking significant steps to ensure digital security by adapting the
legislative framework and introducing practices aimed at protecting the country's information
space.
Analyses and findings.
Cybersecurity is a system of measures and technologies
aimed at protecting digital data, computer systems and networks from threats, attacks and
unauthorized access. It covers the protection of personal data, financial information,
government and corporate networks, and information systems.
Cyber infrastructure includes a set of technological solutions and systems that
ensure the operation of the Internet, cloud services, databases, servers, telecommunications
networks and other digital objects. It is the basis for the functioning of all digital services and
requires reliable protection.
As technology advances, cyber threats such as viruses, phishing, account hacks, data
leaks, and attacks on government and corporate systems are on the rise. Digital security is
essential for:
●
protection of users' personal data;
●
preventing financial losses for companies and organizations;
●
ensuring the uninterrupted operation of critical systems (banking, medical,
government);
●
preventing industrial and government espionage.
Cybernetics, as a science of information management and processing, plays a key role
in the development of digital security. It helps develop intelligent security systems, analyze
threats, and predict attacks using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Digital security covers several levels of protection:
1.
Technical measures
– antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, data encryption.
2.
Organizational measures
– security policies, staff training, access control.
3.
Legislative measures
– regulations governing the storage and protection of data.
Effective digital security not only prevents attacks, but also minimizes their
consequences, ensuring the reliable operation of all digital systems.
In the context of rapid digitalization of the economy and society, Uzbekistan faces a
number of serious challenges in the field of digital security. The growth in the use of
information and communication technologies is accompanied by an increase in cyber threats,
which requires the adoption of effective measures to protect the national cyber infrastructure.
According to the National Cybersecurity Index (NCSI) 2023, Uzbekistan ranked 94th
out of 176 countries, down six spots from the previous year. The decline in the ranking
indicates the need to strengthen cybersecurity measures.
In 2023, the public sector was the most vulnerable to cyberattacks, accounting for
15% of all successful attacks.
In November 2023, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan was attacked using
the SugarGh0st malware, highlighting the relevance of threats to government institutions.
In response to growing cyber threats, Uzbekistan has adopted a number of legal acts:
Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PP-167 dated May 31,
2023 approved the "Regulation on the procedure for ensuring cybersecurity of critical

information infrastructure facilities." The document defines a set of measures to prevent
cybersecurity incidents and protect critical information systems
.
Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PP-381 dated
November 30, 2023 is aimed at strengthening the protection of the rights of consumers of
digital products and combating offenses committed through digital technologies. The
resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring the security of digital services and products
to protect the interests of citizens
In November 2023, the Strategy for the Development of the Communications
Industry until 2035 was approved, which provides for:
●
Transition to certified information security tools.
●
Development of a state center for detection and elimination of consequences of
computer attacks.
●
Creation of a unified system of protection against DDoS attacks.
●
Conducting regular training programs for employees of public and private
organizations on cybersecurity issues.
●
Adaptation of the regulatory framework to new types of cyber threats and ensuring its
compliance with international standards.
●
Active participation in global cybersecurity initiatives and exchange of experience
with other countries.
●
Implementation of modern security technologies, including intrusion detection and
prevention systems, as well as regular software updates.
Thus, to ensure digital security in Uzbekistan, it is necessary to comprehensively
apply legislative, technical and educational measures aimed at protecting the national cyber
infrastructure and users of digital services.
Conclusion.
Modern digital security challenges require a comprehensive approach,
including improving legislation, developing technological protection and increasing the
digital literacy of citizens. In Uzbekistan, as in other countries, the growth of digital threats
requires the adaptation of the regulatory framework, the introduction of innovative solutions
and international cooperation. An analysis of the current state of cybersecurity shows that,
despite the measures taken, there remain unresolved problems, such as the vulnerability of
critical infrastructure, the increase in the number of cyberattacks and insufficient user
awareness of protection methods.
As a result of our research on this topic, we offer the following proposals to improve
the level of digital security in Uzbekistan:
1.
Strengthening the legislative framework – development of additional regulations
aimed at protecting personal data, combating cybercrime and regulating cryptocurrency
transactions.
2.
Establishment of a national cyber incident response center – expansion of the
capabilities of existing cyber centers for the prompt detection and prevention of threats.
3.
Large-scale implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the field of
cybersecurity – automation of threat monitoring and data analysis for early detection of
attacks.
