Security, synonymous with stability and development, in its most desirable form ensures certainty of existence, preservation of identity, freedom of affiliation, activity and functioning of individuals and communities, integrity and independence, satisfaction of basic needs, defence against their loss, prosperity and satisfaction. The interpretation adopted for the purposes of the paper refers to several elements that affect national security. It is primarily creating its security by organising society on the basis of power, giving its actions a purposeful character serving to maintain order and stability, and social order. Another element is the creation of certain states of social reality through the policy of the institution of power, which relates to the present, but inevitably leads to the future. The third element is the creation of future, desired social, political and economic phenomena and processes forming the order and the basis for further related activities, based on the policy instrument, which is the national security strategy. The last element is combining all of the previously listed in national security management. Together, these elements create an interpretation of the way of transforming and creating the state’s ability to ensure its security, a necessary condition for its existence and development. The presented study, not exhausting the subject, allows for the formulation of directions for further research, which appear to be important in creating national security.
It was argued that the development of an effective strategy for the protection of the industrial organization and ensuring its proper implementation should be based on the methodological basis of the theory of security. The fundamental changes in the process of formation of a security strategy are determined by the fact that the process specified is objectively developing and gradually becoming more complicated. At the present stage, the security strategy is formalized into a certain organized system, which should include the existing structural subdivisions of the business entity and create conditions for the protection of the priority areas of its operations. The main objective of formation of a strategy for the protection of entrepreneurship is the early distinguishing and isolation of external and internal dangers and threats, overcoming existing imbalances in the process of formation of the innovative basis for further development, creation of a safe environment for the existence of a business entity and, ultimately, achieving the stated goals of a particular industrial organization. All this allows us to formulate an appropriate strategy for its economic security.
