Abstract

This study focuses on refining conceptual approaches to ensuring state economic security, taking into account the trigger points of influence within the information component amid rapid digital development. The research addresses the pressing need for safeguarding the national economy’s information security, resilience, and adaptability to digital risks and threats.

The findings indicate that risks and threats within the information space cause substantial financial losses to national economic systems, estimated at over USD 4 billion annually. Given this context, the study substantiates the necessity of a two-tiered proactive approach to economic security at the national level, with a strong emphasis on cybersecurity. The results demonstrate a significant direct correlation between the level of economic digitalization and cybersecurity, with approximately 49.1 % of the variation in a country's cybersecurity level attributable to differences in digital development. The study reveals that some countries prioritize cybersecurity even at early stages of digitalization, while others first advance digital technologies and subsequently focus on securing them. The study identifies trigger points at which information security influences state economic security. The research proves that integrating security aspects of economic and information processes requires the formation of a security-oriented information environment for the national economy to proactively ensure state economic security. The practical value of research results is their potential application for reforming state economic policy in the context of digitalization and ensuring economic security at all levels of the social hierarchy (state, business, individual, society)
