Abstract
The article examines the current state of cybersecurity in Kazakhstan and the specifics of conducting a cybersecurity audit in the face of growing uncertainty caused by geopolitical, technological and economic factors. The study is based on analytical data from recent years, including information on cyber incidents, the level of digitalization, and the effectiveness of national cybersecurity programs. The key trends, problems and directions of improving information security audit in the context of the transformation of the digital ecosystem of Kazakhstan have been identified. Cybersecurity has become an important part of the strategy of any modern business, as threats from cybercriminals continue to grow. Cybersecurity audits and assessments allow organizations to identify vulnerabilities and determine the level of protection of their information systems. Cyber threats are becoming more complex and diverse every year. Attacks can range from simple phishing schemes to complex multi-layered attacks exploiting malware and software vulnerabilities. In such circumstances, organizations must be prepared not only to respond to incidents, but also to proactively identify and eliminate potential threats. With the rapid development of technology and the increasing number of cyber attacks, regular cybersecurity audits are becoming a necessary step to ensure safe operation. This allows not only to minimize risks, but also to increase the trust of customers and partners in the company. Cybersecurity assessment includes an analysis of existing security measures, as well as the development of recommendations for their improvement. As a result of this process, companies receive a clear understanding of their current security and an action plan to eliminate the identified deficiencies.
