Abstract
<jats:p>The article examines strategic approaches to cybersecurity in Russia and the United States, considered as ex-amples of state-centered and cooperative models of digital space regulation. A comparative analysis of the doctrinal and strategic documents of both countries has been carried out, and differences in the distribution of responsibilities and the role of the state, the private sector, and civil society have been identifiedIt is shown that the American model, based on public-private partnership and horizontal mechanisms of interaction, provides high adaptability and innovative potential, while the Russian model, focused on state control and information sovereignty, demonstrates greater manageability, but limited flexibility and speed of response to dynamic cyber threats. The study’s results highlight the structural limitations of a purely state-centered model and em-phasize the need for institutional renewal and expansion of public-private interaction mechanisms in Russia while maintaining the priority of national sovereignty. The work is relevant in the context of global technological transformation and the increasing role of cyberspace in political, economic and social processes.</jats:p>
