The dynamic growth in the dependence of numerous industrial sectors, businesses, and critical infrastructure on infocommunication technologies necessitates the enhancement of their resilience to cyberattacks and radio-frequency threats. This article addresses a relevant scientific and applied issue, which is to formulate prospective directions for improving the effectiveness of cybersecurity approaches for infocommunication networks through a comparative analysis and logical synthesis of the state-of-the-art of applied research on cyber threats to the information security of mobile and satellite networks, including those related to the rapid development of quantum computing technologies. The article presents results on the systematisation of cyberattacks at the physical, signalling and cryptographic levels, as well as threats to cryptographic protocols and authentication systems. Particular attention is given to the prospects for implementing post-quantum cryptography, hybrid cryptographic models and the integration of threat detection mechanisms based on machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. The article proposes a classification of current threats according to architectural levels, analyses typical protocol vulnerabilities in next-generation mobile networks and satellite communications, and identifies key research gaps in existing cybersecurity approaches. Based on a critical analysis of scientific and applied literature, this article identifies key areas for future research. These include developing lightweight cryptographic algorithms, standardising post-quantum cryptographic models, creating adaptive cybersecurity frameworks and optimising protection mechanisms for resource-constrained devices within information and digital networks.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню переваг використання готових шаблонів Excel у навчальному процесі з метою підвищення ефективності освітнього середовища. В сучасних умовах швидко змінюваного інформаційного суспільства підготовка фахівців потребує інтеграції цифрових інструментів у навчальні програми, що дозволяє студентам набувати практичних навичок, актуальних для ринку праці. Шаблони Excel забезпечують стандартизацію, спрощують виконання завдань, сприяють економії часу та мінімізують ймовірність помилок. У роботі аналізується вплив впровадження готових шаблонів на формування аналітичних здібностей студентів, їх адаптацію до реальних професійних завдань та оптимізацію навчального процесу. Відзначено, що використання шаблонів дозволяє прискорити освоєння базових і розширених функцій Excel, таких як створення формул, умовне форматування та побудова діаграм. Це сприяє розвитку аналітичної культури, здатності до роботи з великими обсягами даних, а також прийняття обґрунтованих рішень. Особливу увагу приділено результатам емпіричних досліджень, які продемонстрували, що використання шаблонів підвищує швидкість виконання завдань студентами на 20–30%, скорочує час на освоєння матеріалу та сприяє покращенню їхніх академічних досягнень. Для викладачів впровадження шаблонів забезпечує економію часу на перевірку завдань, стандартизує підходи до оцінювання та сприяє підвищенню їхньої цифрової компетентності. Результати дослідження підтверджують доцільність впровадження готових шаблонів Excel у освітній процес як засобу підвищення його якості та ефективності. Подальші дослідження можуть бути спрямовані на створення адаптивних шаблонів з використанням штучного інтелекту для автоматизації аналізу даних. This article examines the advantages of using ready-made Excel templates in the educational process to enhance the efficiency of the learning environment. In the modern rapidly evolving information society, the preparation of specialists requires the integration of digital tools into educational programs, enabling students to acquire practical skills relevant to the labor market. Excel templates ensure standardization, simplify task execution, save time, and minimize the likelihood of errors. The study analyzes the impact of implementing ready-made templates on the development of students’ analytical skills, their adaptation to real professional tasks, and the optimization of the learning process. It highlights that using templates accelerates the mastery of basic and advanced Excel functions, such as formula creation, conditional formatting, and chart building. This fosters the development of analytical culture, the ability to work with large datasets, and the making of informed decisions. Special attention is paid to the results of empirical research, which demonstrated that the use of templates increases students’ task completion speed by 20–30%, reduces the time required to learn the material, and improves their academic achievements. For educators, implementing templates saves time on task evaluation, standardizes assessment approaches, and enhances their digital competence. The research results confirm the feasibility of introducing ready-made Excel templates into the educational process as a means to improve its quality and efficiency. Future research may focus on creating adaptive templates utilizing artificial intelligence for automated data analysis.

This research examines the integration and implementation strategies for laboratory work within remote learning environments, alongside an analysis of virtual laboratories as an alternative to traditional practical training. We investigate the distinct challenges faced by higher education institutions in laboratory instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing upon international commission data. The study critically evaluates the advantages and limitations of remote laboratory execution, particularly focusing on the complexities of transitioning from physical to virtual experimentation. Through a detailed case study of a bioelectronics and biomechanics laboratory, we demonstrate the feasibility of remote laboratory access via Internet-based solutions. The research concludes by proposing strategic directions for the advancement of virtual practical work within the computer information technologies department, contributing to the broader discourse on the future of practical education in digital environments.
