Digital age can be described as a collection of different technological solutions as virtual environments, digital services, intelligent applications, machine learning, knowledge-based systems, etc., determining the specific characteristics of contemporary world globalization, e-communications, information sharing, virtualization, etc. However, there is an opportunity the technologies of the digital age to violate some basic principles of the information security and privacy by unregulated access to information and personal data, stored in different nodes of the global network. The goal of the article is to determine some special features of information and personal data protection and to summarise the main challenges of the digital age for the user's security and privacy. A brief presentation of the fundamental legislation in the fields of privacy and personal data protection is made in the introduction, followed by a review of related work on the topic. Components of information security for counteracting threats and attacks and basic principles in the organization of personal data protection are discussed. A summary of the basic challenges of the digital age is made by systematizing the negatives for user's privacy of the contemporary technologies as social computing, cloud services, Internet of Things, Big Data and Big Data Analytics and separate requirements to secure privacy of the participants based on General Data Protection Regulation principles are formulated.
数字时代可以被描述为一系列不同的技术解决方案，如虚拟环境、数字服务、智能应用、机器学习、基于知识的系统等，这些技术决定了当代世界全球化、电子通信、信息共享、虚拟化等的具体特征。然而，数字时代的技术存在一种风险，即通过无节制地访问存储在全球网络不同节点中的信息和个人数据，可能会违反信息安全和隐私的一些基本原则。本文的目的是确定信息和个人数据保护的一些特殊特征，并总结数字时代对用户安全和隐私的主要挑战。引言部分简要介绍了隐私和个人数据保护领域的基本立法，随后回顾了关于该主题的相关工作。讨论了应对威胁和攻击的信息安全组件以及个人数据保护组织中的基本原则。通过将当代技术（如社会计算、云服务、物联网、大数据和大数据分析）对用户隐私的负面影响进行系统化，总结了数字时代的基本挑战，并根据《通用数据保护条例》的原则制定了保障参与者隐私的单独要求。
