The article highlights the need to transform approaches to economic security in a highly dynamic environment. It is emphasized that in modern conditions the development of a set of measures of situational regulation of economic situations that arise in the practice of enterprises in the context of ensuring and managing their safe condition and development is of particular importance. The reflection on new tasks in the field of economic security of industrial enterprises is the transformation of the entire management cycle of enterprise protection from threats, development and implementation of flexible management tools based on the methodology of the equilibrium approach to economic security. The purpose of the study is to develop guidelines for the functioning of the mechanism of economic security of industrial enterprises based on the use of flexible management tools. The article outlines that the formation of a mechanism for ensuring the economic security of industrial enterprises based on the use of flexible management tools should take into account modern features of the external environment, which is characterized by high dynamics and intensity of events. Sometimes, it is the high dynamism of events, rather than their nature, that causes threatening situations for the economic system of the enterprise. It is emphasized that in the process of forming a mechanism for ensuring economic security of industrial enterprises based on the use of flexible management tools should take into account the nature of many crises, both internal and external, which can be allocated to a separate area of research intensity of threats. The author proposes to identify the main qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the category "threat" (threat strength and intensity), which should be the basis for developing components of the relevant mechanism for economic security of industrial enterprises, details for the application of their modes. The author emphasizes that the scientific basis of the process of developing a mechanism for economic security using flexible tools should be the concept of flexible management, which is an established system of views on the organization of flexible management, its essential characteristics and holistic theoretical basis. The application of the provisions of the concept of flexible management, Agile-management, the theoretical basis of which is situational theory, should provide the ability to identify factors that affect the economic security of industrial enterprises, its adaptation to environmental changes, and the ability to properly take into account current market needs, potential threats and developing new perspectives. In this context, ensuring the economic security of industrial enterprises through the use of flexible management tools is a management decision-making process that allows to take into account changes in the external environment quickly and adjust management decisions to ensure economic security of industrial enterprises in accordance with existing external and internal threats.
