Abstract

The rapid pace of technological progress has created new opportunities for every person, enterprise and state in achieving their goals and interests. The digital economy is now considered as a component of the traditional one, and its share indicates the level of use of the latest digital technologies, which becomes the dominant factor for improving the competitive position of a certain country in the global economic space. The development of high-tech industrial production with the simultaneous digitalization of all areas of the socio-economic environment creates conditions for the further technological dominance of a limited circle of leading countries. At the same time, the changes caused by digitalization require a revision of the basic principles for ensuring the economic security of the state. Timely tracking of changes manifested in challenges is important to counter new threats. A detailed study of the world experience, in particular, of economically developed countries, in the formation of the digital economy made it possible to identify a number of challenges for which it is advisable to develop adequate response measures in order to avoid possible threats to the economic security of the state.
