Scientific approaches to identifying threats to the economic security of the industry

Abstract

The study is devoted to scientific approaches to identifying threats to the economic security of the industry, which is an important element of ensuring the stable functioning and development of the economy, especially in conditions of growing instability and global challenges. Given current trends, such as accelerated digitalization, geopolitical risks, changes in the macroeconomic environment and the growing influence of innovative technologies, the development of effective methods for identifying threats and their neutralization is of particular relevance.

The purpose of the work is to analyze existing scientific approaches to identifying and assessing threats to the economic security of the industrial sector, their systematization and classification, as well as to study their impact on the stability of enterprises and industry development. In addition, the work focuses on creating effective risk management mechanisms and developing recommendations for increasing the level of economic security of industrial production entities.

The research used modern methods of structural analysis, comparative analysis, and a systems approach. This made it possible to identify key risk factors and threats for various segments of the industry, as well as to assess their dynamics and level of impact depending on internal and external factors. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the impact of technological changes, environmental challenges, financial market instability, energy threats and cybersecurity issues on the functioning of the industrial complex.

The main results of the study indicate the need for a comprehensive approach to threat assessment, which takes into account both traditional economic factors and new challenges associated with digital transformations, geopolitical risks, changes in international trade policy, consumer demand dynamics and energy security. The proposed approaches allow to increase the adaptability of enterprises to crisis conditions, develop flexible risk management strategies and contribute to the formation of an effective system of strategic management of economic security.

The conclusions emphasize the importance of integrating innovative technologies, analytical tools, artificial intelligence, and big data to identify and minimize threats. This is a key factor in ensuring the long-term sustainability of industrial sectors in modern conditions of high economic turbulence and rapid technological change.
