The article examines modern approaches to ensuring the economic security of enterprises in the digital economy, where digital technologies, information resources, and cybersecurity are key. It is substantiated that digitalization transforms all areas of enterprise activity–from strategic management and operational processes to data governance and personnel policy–while simultaneously generating a new spectrum of risks, including cyber incidents, information leaks, technical failures, innovative threats, and institutional vulnerabilities. Based on the analysis of scientific works, the main theoretical approaches to economic security are identified: the resource-based, functional, risk-oriented, institutional-legal, and sociotechnical approaches, which reflect the multidimensional nature of modern enterprise security. It is demonstrated that digital assets – data, cloud services, algorithms, software, and IT infrastructure – have become key resources, and the level of their protection directly determines companies’ economic resilience and competitiveness. Particular attention is paid to personnel’s digital competence as a critical factor in reducing the likelihood of cyber incidents, as most security breaches are caused by human error and insufficient technological skills. The article highlights the importance of technological cybersecurity tools, effective data management, implementation of information security standards, and integrated risk management, all of which interact with organizational resilience strategies. A set of recommendations is formulated to enhance enterprises’ economic security, including developing employees’ digital skills, modernizing IT infrastructure, improving security policies, conducting regular audits and system testing, and strengthening institutional compliance with national and international standards. The prospects for further research are outlined, including the development of intelligent models for assessing digital risks based on artificial intelligence, advancement of methods for measuring employees’ digital competence, and the study of the impact of emerging technologies–blockchain, quantum computing, and autonomous systems – on the economic resilience and competitiveness of enterprises in the digital environment.

Keywords: economic security of the enterprise, risks, threats, innovative development, digital economy, digital transformation, information security, digital competence, system approach.
