RISK MANAGEMENT OF THE INFORMATION COMPONENTOF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF BUSINESS ENTITIES

In the context of the digital economy development, the risks associated with the organization
of business processes in organizations increase significantly. The objects of risk management are
production logistics systems, customer interaction systems, including in the field of financial
transactions. In this regard, the problem of information security is significant for all economic entities
and is one of the areas for increasing the level of economic security. The difficult geopolitical
situation also has a negative impact on the financial and economic activities of Russian companies,
which increases the requirements for ensuring their economic security in general, and information
security in particular. The presented article identifies trends in information security threats for
companies in our country, examines specific situations characterizing the economic damage of
companies, formulates the causes of technical failures that led to financial damage, and develops
directions for increasing the level of information security of business entities. The analysis, based on
the use of the context analysis method, allows us to identify the relationship between the causes of
information security threats and the financial and economic situation. The conclusions obtained as a
result of the study make it possible to identify “weak points” in the process of building an information
security system for companies, as well as to determine the place and role of risk management for
information systems in the context of achieving the economic security of business entities. The
developed directions aimed at increasing the level of information security significantly expand the
risk management practices of Russian companies and form stable prerequisites for improving the
parameters of economic security.
