This stage of development of society and the economy is characterized by the following: - increasing the role of information, knowledge, and information technologies in society; - increase in the number of people employed in the production of information technologies, communications, and information products and services, as well as the share of ICT in the gross domestic product; - informatization of society through telephony, radio, television, the Internet, and both traditional and electronic media. The creation of the global information society has led to: - effective, informal human interaction; - access to global information resources; - meeting their needs for information products and services; - development of e-democracy, digital economy, e-government, digital markets, e-social and business sectors. The impact of digitization on the innovative development of industrial enterprises was considered based on the calculation of efficiency indicators of the innovative activity for selected systems of the production process.[1] The impact of contemporary information and communication technologies on the performance of trading enterprises, particularly under challenging management conditions, is scrutinized.[2] Digitalization processes have a particularly significant impact on the economic activities of business entities and, consequently, on ensuring their economic security. The demand for security is fundamental for individuals, enterprises, society, and the state as a whole.[3] Some scholars have focused on national economic security [4], the economic security of households [5], and the economic security of the individual [6]. Others have paid attention, in addition to the above, to “economic security of the region and economic security of the enterprise” [7]. Also, the ability to influence modern information, telecommunications and modern communication systems in protecting intellectual resources of enterprises has been studied.[8] It can be seen that economic security is the most important element at all stages of economic development, and it requires protection from internal and external threats. In addition, investigations by Kolomiiets H. M. and Hlushach Yu. S. actualize transformantion stages of digital technologies definig their role in business as auxiliary ones; as an important factor of achieving business-results of activities; as the basis for providing a business strategy; and, finally, as a business-model identifier [9]. 988 ResearchBib IF - 11.01, ISSN: 3030-3753, Volume 2 Issue 3 This is important for understanding significance of digitalization at the current stage of development of individual industries. Thus, Hojeghan S.B. and Esfangareh A.N. show impacts of the digital economy on the tourism industry [10]. The concept of enterprise digitalization is associated with the introduction of new technologies that have become available to businesses in recent years, including big data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotization, augmented reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, and cloud computing. The prerequisites for the development and implementation of digitalization include the decreasing cost of techno
