"ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT": TO BE IN TREND OR ENSURE ITS OWN ECONOMIC SECURITY

Abstract

The modern state is looking for all sorts of ways to «stay afloat», developing modern systems for collecting and processing information, promoting products, current self-promotion mechanisms, etc. At the same time, the designated products are being introduced not only at the level of separate individuals, business structures, but also at the level of the public administration system. The «e-government» system seems to be precisely such an instrument for optimizing interaction in the ((population - business - state» system that is intended, primarily, to increase the speed and quality of public services, reduce bureaucratization in the country, and also to establish compliance with the level of informatization of the public administration system. However, in the race to achieve leading ranking positions on the world stage, some countries forget about the need to ensure their own security, both national and its individual components - economic and informational. They do not always take into account that modern information systems, along with their absolute advantages, pose threats to the national economy, which can adversely affect the life processes of society. It is this fact that determines the extreme relevance of the study of the specifics of new threats to economic security and the development of effective mechanisms for their leveling.
