RISKS OF DIGITALIZATION IN ENSURING THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE STATE
New economic conditions today are manifested in the development of the digital economy, which has shown its relevance in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the pace of digitalization. Thus, by 2030, GDP growth rates will be more than half provided by the digital economy. In this regard, there is a need to form a system of economic security for the development of the digital economy in order to increase economic growth. Within the framework of the article, an attempt was made to establish a connection between the level of economic security of the country and the level of digitalization, to analyze the risks of digital transformation and to form directions for increasing economic security. The authors identified the advantages of developing the digital economy; dominant threats and risks of digital transformation, including cybersecurity threats; the risk of a race to survive in the markets, the inability to find a niche, the facilitation of illegal economic activities and infringement of privacy, the risk of missed opportunities as a result of automation (logistics, manufacturing processes). In addition, trends in the use of the benefits of digitalization by participants in illegal economic activities and fraudsters have been identified, including an increase in attempts to infringe on privacy and identity theft.
