The modern era is characterized by the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT), which are increasingly integrating into all spheres of social life, including science, education, governance, economy, defense, and security. The issue of cybersecurity has become particularly significant, as the digital environment involves a continuous exchange of sensitive information, making every user or organization a potential target for malicious activities. Given the external and internal challenges Ukraine has faced in recent years, ensuring cyber protection, particularly of educational and scientific content, has become especially relevant. Open-access repositories are an essential component of the modern scientific space, providing free knowledge exchange. However, they are also vulnerable to cyberattacks, which can lead to the loss or compromise of valuable information. In this context, studying global experience in organizing cybersecurity systems, particularly involving both state structures and the private sector, is highly relevant. Modern cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex, ranging from simple hacking to the use of high-tech malicious software, social engineering methods, DDoS attacks, data theft, and information substitution. Counteracting such threats requires a systematic approach, including the implementation of effective protection methods and technologies, continuous monitoring of information security status, attack identification mechanisms, and legal responses to incidents. Special attention should be paid to the security of educational and scientific content distributed through open digital platforms. This content is not only the result of intellectual activity but also the foundation for further research and educational processes. Therefore, its protection from cyber threats is crucial for ensuring the continuity of scientific communication and knowledge development. For this reason, systematizing information on the state and development of protection measures for open-access educational and scientific content, as well as developing and implementing effective cybersecurity measures, is an extremely important scientific and practical task.
