Abstract
The article notes the increasing influence of digital technologies on the life of a modern person. Based on the data of statistical, sociological studies, as well as analytical publications in Internet sources of free access, the negative trends of the last decade related to the increasing threats to personal information security in the Internet space, demonstrating an increasing trend every year, are revealed.

The need to achieve the stated goal led to the formulation and solution of the following scientific tasks: the study of the causes, essence and types of cyber aggression; identification of the main features of cyberbullying that distinguish it from other types of cyber aggression; disclosure of the directions of state legal policy in the field of combating cyberbullying; an analytical review of the legal positions of the country’s highest judicial body on bringing to justice for cyberbullying; development of practical proposals to improve the legal means of combating cyberbullying.
The methodological basis of the research was, first of all, the method of system analysis, as well as a set of general scientific and scientific methods of cognition, including special legal, statistical and sociological methods.
According to the results of the study, it is substantiated that the fight against cyberbullying is a private manifestation of the neutralization of threats to personal information security in the digital environment, which necessitates the consideration of state policy on countering cyber aggression in the context of the general policy of ensuring national security in the information sphere.
