In recent years, the number of financial technology players and users have increased at a significant rate due to the rapid technological advancement in financial technology. While smart devices are providing more useful features to users, they have also made it possible for cyber threats to migrate from desktops to smart devices. Thus, it is important for smart device users to be aware that their device could be exposed to cyber threats and that users could protect their devices by employing data-centric cyber security measures. This study reveals how financial technology business model responded to the breach phenomenon by employing data-centric protection approaches. The result is very interesting. Data-centric security is very needed as it is capable of protecting data as a whole. It provides a gapless protection, meaning to say, the data are encrypted and classified wherever it moves. With persistent protection and cross-platform operability, data-centric security will eliminate gaps and keep data protected.

In today's society, data security is the big problem for every business organization or an individual. Most found threat is theft of personal data and information. With time digital data become more prevalent, personnel try to secure their information by using highly encrypted passwords and authentication identities, but, the misuse and theft of these security measures are rising in lot of theft cases Taking advantage of security flaws in authentication identities ends up in cards being duplicated or counterfeited and hence misused. This increasing fight with cyber security has been the sole reason of  making  biometric security systems, the  important area of concern is that how do  one can implement the biometric security for increasing of data security.  First unique feature which is found different in every human is Fingerprints; Humans have used fingerprints for personal identification. Presently, most of the organisation use  fingerprint recognition for authentication process  it is one of the oldest and most commonly used biometrics, with high accuracy & generally easy and efficient and fast.  In this paper we propose the idea to use fingerprint recognition along with the user authentication password or to access the data or information. Since the only person who can access information is the person linked to it, no thief can gain access. It also makes your data, very hard for cyber criminals to hack into.

Forecasting is one of the most important stages in planning future policies to ensure economic security. And countering the financial insolvency of an enterprise should begin with predicting the risk of this phenomenon. The risk of bankruptcy is predicted using domestic and foreign models for predicting potential threats to the organization's financial security. However, many of these models are outdated or not focused on the conditions of our country's economy, which affects the reliability of the results obtained and the effectiveness of decisions based on them. In this regard, there is an increased need to develop new models for identifying signs of bankruptcy and the pre-crisis state of the organization, which could form a more reliable opinion about the financial condition of the object for rapid measures to bring the business out of a crisis or unfavorable state.

The European Parliament and Council Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and the repeal of Directive 95/46 / EC, introduced a new one, a proactive model of protection of personal data processed in the organization, based on a risk-based approach. It imposed some new obligations on the administrators, related to conducting analysis of the risk of violation of the rights and freedoms of the persons, whose data they process. Considering the scope, scale and categories of personal data processed, public sector entities face a huge challenge to meet the restrictions of the EU legislator. An additional difficulty is often a very extensive organizational structure, complicated processing processes, limited financial resources and unadjusted IT systems. The article discusses the issues of risk analysis and impact assessment for the protection of personal data processed in the public sector, in order to meet the requirements of the GDPR. The key issue in this respect is the adoption of an appropriate methodology in the risk estimation process, because properly carried out, it enables the implementation of security measures adequate to potential threats.

Introduction. The XXI century is the era of the information society, which has radically changed the conditions of living and development of the business entities. That is why a separate direction of the economic research is rapidly developing, related to the development of the measures to strengthen the economic security of the enterprise in the digitalized world.The purpose of the research is to assess the state and develop the ways to improve the management levers of digitalization risks of the economic security and the formation of the cyber security of the accounting system of the enterprises.Methods. To achieve the purpose of research, various methods and techniques were used: a systematic approach (development of an adaptive cybersecurity system as a function of the economic security service of the enterprise); analysis and synthesis (determination of digitalization risks and the nature of their impact on accounting and analytical support); monographic (identification of information security components). In order to deeply analyze the views of the professional environment on certain aspects of accounting and analytical support of economic security in the digital world conducted an all-Ukrainian expert survey of accounting staff, scientists and graduates «The place of economic security in accounting and analytical management and transformation of the accounting profession in the digital world”, which lasted during 2019–2020 and covered 858 respondents, of which 62.1% are accountants-practitioners of leading enterprises in Eastern Ukraine. In the process of expert survey, a method of questionnaires of a unique sample of respondents was developed. Since the sample population in one proportion or another necessarily included representatives of all groups, the typification of the general population allowed to exclude the influence of intergroup variance on the average error of the sample, which in this case is determined only by intra-group variation.Results. The structure and types of major infringements in the field of the cyber security of the Ukrainian enterprises have been analyzed. Based on the results of the all-Ukrainian expert questioning of the accountants, the importance of the individual groups and the structure of digitalization risks of accounting and analytical support have been determined. The technical, software, information, personnel and organizational components of the information security of the enterprises have been substantiated. An adaptive cyber security system has been developed as a function of the enterprise’s economic security service based on the separation of an expert group on the information security, which is a part of the economic security service and performs the functions of monitoring cyber threats, coordinating tactical actions and forming cyber security strategies or involving IT companies’ integrators. Based on the modeling of the measures to respond to and eliminate cyber threats to the information security at different stages of cyber-attacks, the implementation of preventive, reactionary, protective, prognostic and monitoring stages of cyber defense has been proposed.Perspectives. The potential success of the enterprise in the conditions of transformational changes in the economy in the process of digitalization will directly depend on the change of the accounting paradigm, which is a key element of business process modifications and the main source of the information needs of all stakeholder groups related to the economic security.
