Balancing Cybersecurity and Privacy: A Lecture–Discussion within the Jean Monnet Project “EUEPPDC”

by

У межах реалізації проєкту Жана Моне ERASMUS-JMO-2023-MODULE – ERASMUS2027 – 101125350 «EUEPPDC»: Досвід ЄС щодо захисту персональних даних в кіберпросторі було проведено правопросвітницький захід для студентів спеціальностей «Право», «Міжнародне право» та «Правоохоронна діяльність».

Захід відбувся у форматі лекції-дискусії на тему:
«Де проходить межа між забезпеченням кібербезпеки та втручанням у право на приватність?»

Під час заходу було розглянуто актуальні проблеми співвідношення публічних інтересів держави у сфері кібербезпеки та фундаментальних прав людини, зокрема права на приватне життя і захист персональних даних. Особливу увагу приділено європейським стандартам захисту персональних даних, практиці застосування GDPR, а також підходам Європейського Союзу до легітимності, пропорційності та необхідності втручання держави у цифрову приватність в умовах сучасних кіберзагроз.

У форматі відкритої дискусії студенти мали можливість висловити власні позиції щодо допустимих меж державного контролю в кіберпросторі, обговорити виклики, пов’язані з масовим збором даних, цифровим наглядом, використанням технологій штучного інтелекту та засобів кіберрозвідки, а також проаналізувати потенційні ризики зловживань.

Проведений захід сприяв поглибленню правової обізнаності студентів, формуванню критичного мислення щодо балансу між безпекою та правами людини, а також розвитку розуміння європейських підходів до регулювання кіберпростору, що є особливо актуальним для майбутніх юристів, міжнародників і фахівців правоохоронної сфери.
