Напрями удосконалення ключових бізнес-процесів у контексті формування економічної безпеки підприємства в сучасних умовах

The article is devoted to the study of directions for improving key business processes as the basis for forming enterprise economic security in the context of digital transformation and growing cyber threats. Theoretical approaches to defining enterprise economic security and its relationship with business process optimization are analyzed. The main trends in the development of business process improvement methodologies are identified, including Six Sigma, TQM, PDCA, as well as the role of artificial intelligence and digital technologies in ensuring economic security. A conceptual model for integrating the process approach and the enterprise economic security system has been developed. Practical recommendations are proposed for implementing innovative business process management tools to increase the level of economic security in conditions of uncertainty and risks of the modern business environment. The research reveals that effective business process management serves as a fundamental mechanism for creating resilient organizational structures capable of adapting to rapidly changing market conditions while maintaining operational continuity and strategic competitiveness. The integration of advanced analytics, machine learning algorithms, and real-time monitoring systems enables enterprises to proactively identify potential vulnerabilities and implement preventive measures before threats materialize into actual security incidents. The study demonstrates that the convergence of business process improvement methodologies with modern security frameworks creates a synergistic effect that enhances organizational capabilities to respond to complex threats while simultaneously driving operational excellence. Through comprehensive analysis of contemporary challenges, including the proliferation of AI-driven cyber attacks, regulatory compliance requirements, and the complexities of managing third-party risks, the research provides actionable insights for practitioners seeking to build robust economic security systems. The proposed framework emphasizes the critical importance of organizational culture transformation, leadership commitment, and continuous learning as foundational elements for successful integration of process improvement and security initiatives. Furthermore, the research highlights the transformative potential of emerging technologies such as blockchain, IoT, and quantum computing in reshaping the landscape of enterprise economic security, while also acknowledging the new vulnerabilities these technologies introduce. The findings suggest that organizations must adopt a holistic, ecosystem-based approach to security that extends beyond traditional organizational boundaries to encompass the entire value chain, including suppliers, partners, and customers.
