INFORMATION AND ECONOMIC SECURITY AS A FACTOR OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROWTH OF REGIONS

Abstract

The article analyzes the state and prospects for the development of information and economic security of regions as an important factor in ensuring their socio-economic growth and stability in modern conditions. An analysis of scientific approaches to the interpretation of information and economic security, covering different levels of governance - from regional to national, is carried out. The main aspects of information security are highlighted, in particular, protecting the information environment, meeting information needs and counteracting negative impacts. When studying economic security, the emphasis is on ensuring economic stability, independence and competitiveness of the regional economy.

The study emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to ensuring information and economic security, which includes the development of information infrastructure, the introduction of modern technologies, increasing digital literacy and stimulating innovation. Special attention is paid to the adaptation of regions to global challenges and integration into international economic processes. The conclusions of the study are aimed at forming development strategies that take into account modern challenges, ensuring the stability and competitiveness of regions in the digital age.

Information and economic security is considered as a multi-level system that includes information protection, ensuring economic stability, taking into account national interests and adaptation to external challenges. The combination of information and economic components is key to achieving sustainable development of regions and the state. This indicates the need for an interdisciplinary approach and the development of integrated mechanisms for ensuring security at different levels.

A comprehensive approach to ensuring information and economic security of regions is proposed, which combines strategic planning, the development of innovative technologies, the implementation of effective risk management mechanisms and the protection of information resources. Particular attention is paid to the creation of a modern information infrastructure that will facilitate the rapid exchange of data between economic entities and stakeholders, increase the digital literacy of the population and stimulate investment. Such an approach will ensure not only the economic stability of regions, but also their adaptation to global challenges, in particular digitalization and increased international competition.
