Strategic Prospects for Managing Computer Networks and Information Systems in the Context of Digital Transformation and Global Cyberspace Integration

Abstract. Introduction. In today’s global digital age, the development and integration of computer networks and information systems have become vital strategic priorities. As the global economy becomes more dependent on data-centric operations, secure and scalable IT infrastructures become increasingly important. These infrastructures serve as a foundation for sustainable technological advancement and inclusive digital growth worldwide. This study explores how contemporary digital solutions, such as cloud computing, cybersecurity architectures, and intelligent network management, foster international connectivity, drive digital innovation, and strengthen the resilience of national economies amid ongoing global digital integration.

Purpose. This research primarily seeks to evaluate the strategic potential and practical impact of advancing computer networks and information systems within the context of global digital transformation. The study emphasizes identifying critical enablers, challenges, and policy tools that facilitate integration into the global digital ecosystem. Particular focus is given to adherence to international standards, technological interoperability, and robust cybersecurity measures.

Results. The findings of this research indicate that advanced digital infrastructure plays a crucial role in enhancing information exchange, fostering innovation ecosystems, and reinforcing economic and administrative resilience. Technologies such as cloud computing, AI-driven systems, and transnational data networks help overcome technological isolation and encourage greater participation in the global digital economy. A comparative review of international best practices, particularly those implemented by leading digital economies, reveals their potential for adaptation in developing and emerging markets.

Conclusions. Modernizing computer networks and information systems is a fundamental driver of sustainable global integration and achieving digital sovereignty. Overcoming obstacles such as obsolete infrastructure, regulatory gaps, and limited access to digital competencies requires coordinated action, international collaboration, and alignment with global digital standards. Ultimately, these efforts will lead to improved service efficiency, stronger cybersecurity, and greater inclusion in the global digital economy.
