Digitalisation as a tool for ensuring enterprise economic security

Introduction. The article is devoted to exploring the role of digitalisation as a tool for ensuring enterprise economic security in the contemporary economy. Economic security is considered a key factor in the stable functioning and development of enterprises, enabling the minimisation of financial, operational, and strategic risks. Under conditions of globalisation and economic instability, the importance of a systematic approach to security management is increasing. Digitalisation acts as an effective instrument for the automation of managerial processes, enhancing data transparency, and ensuring timely responses to threats, including cybercrime. Purpose. To investigate the role of digitalisation as an effective tool for ensuring enterprise economic security by analysing modern instruments of digital technology implementation in economic management systems and identifying pathways for enhancing enterprise resilience to financial, operational, and informational threats. Methodology. The study applies general scientific and specialised methods, including theoretical generalisation, analysis and synthesis, and grouping to structure the main components of the digitalisation process. A structural approach is employed to determine the digitalisation instruments within the enterprise economic security management system. Results. The research analyses modern digital instruments such as ERP systems, analytical platforms, Big Data, and cybersecurity tools that contribute to resource optimisation and improved competitiveness. Particular emphasis is placed on the need for deeper analysis of the impact of digital technologies on risk management and strategic decision-making. The importance of integrating information systems is demonstrated, and risks as well as opportunities for enhancing cybersecurity are assessed. The study highlights that digitalisation strengthens economic security but requires further research regarding standardisation and the evaluation of its effectiveness.
