Leveling digital threats as a means of ensuring economic security in the modern world

Abstract

In the era of digitalization, where the development of technology is closely linked to economic prosperity, it is important to realize the threats posed by the  modern world. Indeed, digital transformation opens up new horizons for public spheres of life, intertwining innovative technologies with everyday tasks, actively stimulating social progress. However, as dependence on new technologies increases, the  impact of digital threats on economic stability and security increases. The attractiveness of  such incidents is based on the  relative cheapness and  accessibility, which makes them more preferable for intruders compared to other types of crimes. Various kinds of attacks and  malicious actions, such as viruses, phishing, malware, cyberattacks, can disrupt not only the  work of  companies, but also undermine their financial situation as a whole. At  this stage, the problem of  digital threats is turning into a global phenomenon affecting everyone – from ordinary citizens to large companies and  government agencies. It is important to be aware of this problem, because without proper counteraction to these challenges, economic losses from cybercrimes will only increase. Preventing such attacks and  reducing their consequences requires a comprehensive approach. That is why the article considers not only the  question of  what negative consequences digital threats have, but also suggests the  necessary, according to the authors, methods and  strategic solutions aimed at reducing economic losses in  the process of constantly changing conditions.
