A DIGITAL HEALTH ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM IN PANDEMIC TIMES

Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global processes is enormous and complex, and it is
constantly increasing. From major disruptions to the global economy and to the breakdown of personal
relationships; no country, business, community, a family or an individual has escaped its consequences.
In addition to the direct impact of the virus on human health and safety, economic, social,
demographic, environmental, behavioral, political and institutional responses to the pandemic have
been and continue to be profound. Economics, alone or in conjunction with other disciplines, including
systems analysis, has a key role to play in understanding, addressing, and mitigating the complex
effects of the pandemic on human and digital security. Digital security is the collective term that
describes the resources employed to protect your online identity, data, and other assets.
In order to develop effective measures to minimize the negative impact of coronavirus on the
economy of Ukraine, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of the socio-economic and security
spheres during quarantine restrictions and various stages of their gradual mitigation. The COVID-19
pandemic creates an environment for the cybercrime development. Decreased vigilance among the
population, anxiety disorders, work from home, and excessive load on the Internet lead to an increase in the
flow of cybercrime. In this context, competent authorities also need practical guidance on limiting
cybersecurity risks to a man and society as a whole.
In this work, using the constructed mathematical model, an important aspect of state ability is
analyzed: the problem of threats to national security. Depending on the state of the system (stable or
unstable), which is characterized by a numerical calculated integral indicator (the number of patients,
the number of those who passed the test, the number of occupied beds in the hospital), national security
in a broad and narrow sense can treated and deemed threatened or protected. The COVID-19 pandemic
and a model assessment of its impact on digital security can be useful for national and international
institutions for planning quarantine measures, organizing public health services, and developing anti-crisis
economic programs.
