Abstract:
The current situation prevailing in most domestic industrial enterprises requires focusing the
maximum attention on solving the problem of ensuring security. The proper level of economic security
allows both the preservation of business and the formation of the basis for the sustainable development
of a particular enterprise. Ensuring economic security requires the definition of a theoretical basis,
which provides for the formation of a modern interpretation of the basic concepts of «security»,«danger», «risk», «threat» and «challenge». The generalization allowed to substantiate their own
understanding and to form the theoretical basis for improving the management of economic security
of industrial enterprises.
