The purpose of the article is to highlight promising areas for optimizing the legal regulation of counteraction to the activities of transnational organized crime groups, which are capable of causing damage to critical infrastructure facilities, by the Security Service of Ukraine. The following methods are used in the research: dogmatic, analytical, content analysis, monographic, logical and normative, legal modelling. It is emphasized that the relevance of optimizing this issue is emphasized in a number of the NSDC decisions. The proposals of scientists on amendments and additions to the legislation regarding the participation of the Security Service of Ukraine in ensuring the security of critical infrastructure are considered. It is proved that the Security Service of Ukraine operates in accordance with the law adopted in 1992, which has long ceased to meet the requirements of the time; in this regard, the relevant draft law proposing improvements to the activities of the Security Service of Ukraine, are studied. Promising directions for optimizing the legal regulation of the Security Service of Ukraine's counteraction to the activities of transnational organized criminal groups to the detriment of critical infrastructure facilities are proposed.
