DIGITAL INNOVATIONS AND THEIR RAMIFICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL AND STATE SECURITY.

Purpose: In the current era of rapid digitalisation across all spheres of public life, the issue of financial and national security takes on a new dimension. Digital technologies bring about significant changes in the security domain, accelerating and streamlining many processes. However, digitalisation also presents new challenges and threats. Therefore, studying and enhancing financial and national security strategies is necessary. The research aims to analyse the specifics of implementing digital technologies in financial and national security. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is theoretical. Theoretically, the ascent methods are applied from the abstract to the concrete, axiomatic, analysis, synthesis, logical-semantic, systems-analytical methods, scientific abstraction, and formalisation. The study is limited by the difficulty of empirically verifying theoretical conclusions. Findings: Blockchain technology provides high transparency, accessibility, and accountability in financial operations. Challenges and risks related to the research process have been identified, including cybercrime and the need for updated regulatory and legal frameworks. Research Limitation/Implications: The article examines the potential of modern digital technologies in optimising financial and national security strategies and the challenges and achievements of the digitalisation of security sector transformation. The study is limited by the lack of access to official, reliable data and the difficulty of implementing an empirical verification of theoretical conclusions. Social Implication: The research demonstrates that security resilience in a globally integrated environment depends on the level of digital innovation implemented for risk management. Practical Implication: The research findings have practical value for transforming contemporary financial and national security systems and shaping relevant government sector development programs. Originality/ Value: The text outlines priority digitalisation solutions for risk prediction and mitigation. The study examines digital technologies that facilitate real-time automation of the risk management process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
