Integration of Operational and Economic Security of the Enterprise: Reorganization, Technologies, Risks and Outsourcing

Abstract

The research analyzes the interaction between the integration of business and economic security of the modern market and state-of-the-art outsourcing technologies in the IT industry, as well as reveals potential advantages and disadvantages that can arise in the process of integrating business and economic security. It defines general indicators of the perception of the outsourcing model by the IT staff and draws conclusions on whether this model is supported by employees. The article examines operational and economic security as two key aspects ensuring sustainability and successful activities of any companies and organizations. It is proved that ensuring operational and economic security requires an integrated approach that includes the development of strategies, implementation of security measures, and constant updating of policies and procedures to minimize risks and ensure the success of the company’s activities. 50 threats are analyzed and assessed. The results reveal the nature of the war’s impact on economic security, with social and food security components accounting for 22 and 14%, financial security at 16%, macroeconomic security at 14%, etc. The article proves the interrelation between IT outsourcing and operational and economic security, which is particularly important due to the high sensitivity of information. Thus, operational security in the context of IT outsourcing is reflected as control over access to data, and economic security covers cost transparency, financial management, and contractual terms. The article analyzes the IT services/outsourcing market, which has reached the level of 85.6 billion USD, and the forecasted market growth rate is 3.88%, according to Technavio research. EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) is the region with the highest projected growth rate of 60%.
