The section presents modern models and software tools for analysis, forecasting and management of financial risks. Mathematical approaches such as regression analysis, time series models (ARIMA, GARCH), scenario analysis, stress testing and portfolio optimization using the Markowitz model are considered. Special attention is paid to machine learning methods, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting and neural networks, which provide high accuracy of forecasts and detection of hidden dependencies in data. The use of modular and microservice architectures is proposed for the development of systems that integrate big data analysis, optimization and visualization tools. The stages of data processing, the application of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), as well as deployment automation (CI/CD) using cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) are described in detail. Special attention is paid to security issues, including data encryption (AES-256), access control (RBAC, MFA) and system monitoring. The presented quantitative and qualitative assessments of the effectiveness of methods and models demonstrate the possibilities of reducing risks and increasing the resilience of financial systems. The chapter can become a basis for researchers, analysts and developers involved in creating financial modeling software, as well as for developing risk management strategies in changing economic conditions.

The research achieved a number of significant results that ensure increased efficiency and accuracy of financial risk forecasting. Mathematical models, in particular ARIMA and GARCH, were developed and integrated, allowing for detailed analysis of time series and assessment of financial indicator volatility. The use of machine learning algorithms, such as Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and neural networks, ensured forecasting accuracy of up to 90% when analyzing risk portfolios and scenarios. Microservice architecture became the basis for creating scalable systems that easily adapt to changing market conditions, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) provided high computing power and availability. Containerization using Docker and Kubernetes significantly simplified the management of system components and their integration. Interactive visualization tools, such as risk heat maps and interactive dashboards, were developed to simplify the analysis of complex financial data and facilitate informed decision-making. Ensuring data security through the implementation of encryption (AES-256), multi-level access (RBAC) and monitoring systems has increased the security of confidential information. Stress testing and scenario analysis have allowed us to assess the impact of extreme events on financial systems, develop strategies to reduce losses and ensure the stability of portfolios. The developed methods have demonstrated effectiveness in changing market conditions, confirming their value for analysts, financial institutions and software developers.
