Ensuring the technological sovereignty of the state in the context of digital transformation

Abstract

The article outlines the role of digital sovereignty in national security of the state. The relevance of its formation and maintenance is due to the intensive speed of global digital transformation. Studying the structure and content of digital sovereignty is an extremely important task in conditions of instability in the macroeconomic environment. The constant increase in the volume of information and generated data and the necessity of its protection creates new difficulties and threats in matters of information security. The work identifies the main components of digital sovereignty, the key ones are the data sovereignty and technological sovereignty. The concept and features of “technological sovereignty”, modern approaches to its development are analyzed, and the need for their practical implementation is substantiated .both at the state level and at the level of business processes participants. The main objective is to provide an integrated approach to the issue in compliance with basic principles, among which regulatedness, clarity, openness, simplicity and compatibility come to the fore. Research shows that the level of technological independence in Russia is gradually increasing. It is a consequence of active support from the government which was intensified due to the current political situation and sanctions pressure on Russian business; an increase in the index of output of goods and services for basic types is the best confirmation that those measures are effective.
