Title: Global challenges and the formation of the digital economy: current state, security problems, development trends
Abstract: At present, the issues of economic security seem to be relevant both for
 the economic development of the state and for complex scientific research.
 A wide range of the vital activities of society includes indicators that reflect
 the potential threats that can be encountered by economic agents. The problem of economic security is now becoming increasingly important, and this
 in turn is caused by the rapid development of a diversified alternative economy that uses the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress. It is quite difficult to predict the development of the country’s economy
 in the long term when the current challenges and threats are not taken into
 account. That is why in the information age, where information technology
 is the main basis for conducting economic activity, and information security
 is one of the main directions of state development, while the state itself
 acts as an economic institution. Therefore, the development of the digital
 economy in Russia poses both opportunities and significant threats.
