Introduction: The history of interactions between states, nations, and alliances of countries dates back thousands of years. These relationships typically progress through several stages, including cooperation, integration, competition, and confrontation. It's important to recognize that these stages encompass a wide array of aspects, including politics, military affairs, finances, technology, society, and ideology. Interaction and confrontation occur at various levels, ranging from global and strategic to tactical and individual. This paper primarily focuses on the stage of confrontation within the relatively new and not yet fully explored realm of cyberspace. Aim: The aim of this research is to study the cyber domain category and determine the possibilities and peculiarities of information interaction (cyber conflicts, cyber blockades, and cyber sanctions). It also involves analyzing existing models and basic assessment indicators characterizing the level of information technology development in individual countries. Method: A systematic approach was employed, consisting of several stages, including the formation of the conceptual foundations of the cyber domain, gathering statistical information from scientific and monographic literature, research reports, and data processing and analysis using game theory, econometric analysis, and economic-mathematical modeling. Findings: A comprehensive study of the nature of cyber conflicts can significantly enhance the process of multilateral cooperation. Future research on conflict dynamics and existing conflict management mechanisms requires further investigation of information security threats and risk management. Originality and value: Statistics have been collected characterizing the National Cyber Security Index and Global Cybersecurity Index 2020: Country profiles of several countries, including Turkiye, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Russia. An attempt has been made to correlate the level of Cyber-Dependent Crimes with the level of cyber domain protection.
