Abstract
In the context of the digital transformation of the economy, the level of risks associated with the use of information technology is steadily increasing. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of existing and potential threats to the digital security of organizations. A classification of threats is presented, a number of practical incidents are considered, and principles for creating an effective system for countering digital threats are formulated. Special attention is paid to the analysis of global risks associated with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). It is shown that the digitalization of the economy not only creates new opportunities for development, but also generates specific challenges that require special attention. It is noted that traditional risk assessment methods are not effective enough in modern conditions, which requires the development of innovative threat management tools. A systematic approach to digital security is proposed, including international regulation, the creation of unified cybersecurity standards, the development of proactive protection and global cooperation. The practical significance of the research lies in the development of recommendations for improving the level of protection of organizations from digital threats. The results of the research can be used both to improve corporate security systems and to form a government policy in the field of cybersecurity.
