The main objective of the study is to formulate a new approach of assessing economic security for industrial enterprises, indicating a different approach from existing ones, to allow for the very specifics of economic activity, and to allow the use of qualitative and quantitative indicators. We justified that the effectiveness of ensuring the economic security for industrial enterprises is determined by the quality of the information basis for the actions of security entities. A methodological approach is proposed that provides for the determination of the security level at three levels: “indicator – functional component – financial indicator” and allows to obtain reliable information about the economic security of oil and gas, engineering and food industries by taking into account the specifics of their economic activities.

Subject. As digital technologies spread across all industries, active processes of digital transformation need to be managed both nationally and regionally. Assessing the extent of digitalization across types of economic activities is the key issue for setting up the socio-economic development strategy of the region and evaluating its efficiency. Objectives. The study is aimed to formulate and test methodological approaches to assessing the digitalization in types of economic activities and the potential of digital technologies for the real economy. Methods. The study relies upon the dialectical method, systems approach, questionnaires, expert approach, interpretation of empirical facts through tables, etc. Results. We devised a methodological approaches to assessing the extent of digitalization in types of economic activities across regions. The approach combines the quantification and evaluation of the process and helps determine the extent of local digital transformation at the regional level. We devised and tested the methodological approach to rating digital technologies, which have the high potential for raising the competitiveness and resilience to competition of the industrial sector in the Russian regions. As opposed to the existing approaches, the approach accounts for the current scale of digital technologies in the national economy, the potential for growth in the demand and supply in the domestic and foreign markets, and the potential for import substitution with respect to foreign technologies and products. Conclusions and Relevance. What makes the proposed methodological approaches more preferable is that they help assess not only the extent of digitalization in types of economic activities and the predominance of certain types in industrial enterprises, but also determine their potential for import substitution in terms of digital security.

The article analyzes the economic essence of such an important component for any enterprise as economic security. The importance of protecting the enterprise from all sorts of threats, as well as the need for their constant monitoring, is substantiated. The need to ensure the economic security of the enterprise is determined not only at the enterprise level, but also at the state security level. Two main approaches to the definition of the concept of "economic security" were identified, on the basis of which a definition was given of the concept of "economic security of the enterprise" in modern conditions of functioning on the Ukrainian market. The term “threats” was analyzed, on the basis of which the term “threat to the economic security of an enterprise” was defined. A classification and ranking of threats was formed depending on their nature and the degree of danger they represent. Based on the classification of threats, it was concluded that, in addition to common global threats, threats for each enterprise have certain characteristics depending on its type and nature of activity. It was concluded that the factors of formation of dangers and threats to the activities of the enterprise can be considered from different points of view, depending on the sphere of formation, mechanisms of influence and the possibility of forecasting. Based on the above definition, the causes of global threats, as well as threats at enterprises, are formed, a classification of factors that form threats is given. Given the problems of industrial enterprises in Ukraine, specific threats to industrial enterprises were examined on the basis of criteria put forward by various scientists. It was concluded that threats to the economic security of the enterprise overlap and intertwine, which leads to certain difficulties in identifying them when constructing economic security systems and identifying the subjects and objects of economic security.

The purpose of the research. The purpose of the article is to elaborate scientific and methodological approaches to providing economic security of an enterprise as a key component of its management. Methodology. The study applies general scientific theoretical methods – generalization, explanation, grouping – to analyzing economists’ and practitioners’ ideas about the object of the research and formulating conclusions of content analysis of primary sources, analysis and synthesis – to substantiating a new scientific approach to ensuring economic security of an enterprise. Results. Specific features of economic security of an enterprise as an object of management are taken into account as those revealing themselves in nonlinearity of links between its current level and the implemented set of managerial actions. To assess the results of ensuring economic security, its dynamic parameters have been substantiated including those of operational excellence as an internal prerequisite of its provision and market sustainability as an external form of manifesting internal systemic characteristics of a business. A methodological approach to assessing results of ensuring economic security of an enterprise is suggested on the basis on assessing the degree of correspondence of the above parameters (provision planes) to enterprises’ internal standards, industry averages and the best current business practices. Implementation of the suggested methodological approach to assessing the results of ensuring economic security in retrospective enables empirical confirmation of the fact that internal operating prerequisites and market positions of mining and metallurgical enterprises are determined by used/unused opportunities of the business environment for a certain period of time. Styles of ensuring the economic security of the enterprises under study are identified. It is revealed that the regressive style, which manifests itself in overestimation of internal standards with a dangerous degree of compliance with the best business practices is prevailing. It has been substantiated that its use puts the economic security level in a critically dangerous dependency on the market situation and, taking into account current trends in the economic and political environment, makes it possible to predict a decline in the economic security level of the enterprises under study in the near future: the global economic decline, increased protectionism on the markets, increased tax burden, increased environmental tax rates, etc. Practical importance. A scientific approach to ensuring economic security of an enterprise has been substantiated which integrates the strategic and operational levels of management and ensures minimization of the degree of inconsistency of the internal system characteristics of the business with stakeholders’ e requirements and trends in the external environment based on the use of opportunities for increasing value added streams in the context of permanent dynamic changes in the functioning of the enterprise. Further research is devoted to development of methodological approaches to taking into account the third plane of ensuring economic security – “stakeholder satisfaction”.

Increasing the instability of Ukrainian enterprises, which requires increasing attention to solving the problem of ensuring the required level of financial security requires consideration not only of methodological aspects of creating and adjusting the subsystem in the economic security of the enterprise, but also forming approaches to assessing its management. To develop a methodological approach to assessing the management of financial security of the enterprise used methods: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of the essential characteristics of the terms "efficiency" and "effectiveness"; synthesis and analysis – to identify and characterize the essence of the main approaches to management evaluation; morphological analysis – to clarify the list of indicators and determine the sequence of calculation of group indicators; graphic – for visual presentation of theoretical and methodical material; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and conclusions of the study. A methodical approach to assessing the management of financial security of the enterprise, which provides for the gradual definition of individual indicators with their combination into groups of three components: financial security of the enterprise, evaluating the effectiveness of security entities and evaluating the effectiveness of organizational structure and resources. The developed approach is based on theoretical bases, which include: criteria for assessing the financial security of the enterprise; provisions on the interaction of structural units in the process of ensuring the financial security of the enterprise; requirements for input information; principles of formation and use of the evaluation system of financial security management of the enterprise. The formed methodical approach promotes achievement of the key purposes of an estimation: a reliable estimation of management of financial safety of the enterprise as a whole and in a cut of the basic components; determining the impact of factors on the change in the level of financial security, the effectiveness of the actions of security entities and the effectiveness of the use of organizational structure and resources; improving the evaluation process in accordance with changes in the main stages of financial security management of the enterprise and the provisions for ensuring the economic security of the enterprise.

The transformation of the oil and gas industry is caused by the emerging global situation and threats to the economic security of the agents caused by negative factors. The purpose of the article is to show the need to address the negative impact of external and internal factors on the oil and gas sector, which will give a clear understanding of the effectiveness of state support mechanisms for companies in this area. The authors’ research was carried out on the basis of indicative and normative analysis, program-targeted and expert methods, which made it possible to assess the security level of one of the agents. The methods used present the systemic ideology of studying the economic security of one of the key sectors in the economy, based on identification and assessments. The main results of research are as follows: theoretical approaches to the study of economic security of the agents are determined; of the studied issues are presented; methodological algorithm for identification of threats and assessment of their level is suggested and tested; key factors of negative impact, including those manifested in the pandemic conditions, are highlighted. The scientific results of the conducted research demonstrate a low level of economic security of the oil industry agents and the loss of protection from various kinds of threats. The assumption that the level of economic security of the agent reflects the efficiency of its functioning is reliable, and the peculiarities of factor influence determine the nature of possible threats. The main conclusions of the authors prove the need in the state support for companies in the oil industry and the formation of an effective system for ensuring the economic security of its activities, taking the existing partner practice and preventive security measures into account. An effective security system allows you to successfully monitor and make correct decisions under conditions of economic uncertainty.
