Contemporary Paradigms of Security Within Industry: Digital Landscape Toolkit, Performance-based Vision, and Legal Frameworks

Abstract

In the technocentric paradigm marked by rapid digital progress, digital transformation becomes a key condition for the effective functioning of industrial enterprises. It reshapes traditional business models, introducing new standards of productivity, resilience, and competitiveness. Autonomous systems, IoT, and AI enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen cybersecurity, yet demand a comprehensive analysis of economic and legal security. This study evaluates the use of digital tools in managing industrial security, identifies development vectors, and justifies the need for formalised cyber defence mechanisms. The methodology combines theoretical, empirical, and legal approaches to examine how digital technologies optimise production, management, and decision-making. International indices on digital development, communication, services, and cybersecurity are analysed. The challenges of digital integration are outlined, highlighting managerial barriers, cybersecurity concerns, and conceptual approaches to legal support for transformation.
