Abstract
The article is devoted to the topical topic of the fourth industrial revolution, which every member of society is witnessing and participating in today. The author analyzes the process of forming a new social reality and notes its ambiguous nature. On the one hand, there are obvious innovative breakthroughs in many areas of life that can significantly "improve" human (not only social) existence. On the other hand, the contradictions and paradoxes of such a "brave new world" are exponentially increasing, "deferred" challenges and risks are being formed, moral and ethical algorithms of social interaction are being transformed. The author focuses on the fact that today humanity, in order to form a balanced and safe social environment, needs to delve into the essence of the process of the fourth industrial revolution. To do this, it is necessary not just to comprehend their upcoming scientific and technological "steps", but equally those profound changes that have already been launched. In addition, the article also notes the special role of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, according to many researchers, has forever changed the usual societal contours, forming a kind of "post-pandemic" social reality. The paper analyzes the uniqueness of the situation of "layering" of two transformational processes – the expansion of the fourth industrial revolution and the reformatting of being by the COVID-19 virus. In view of this, as the author notes, a person begins practically, at the level of everyday life, to face an increasing volume of changes generated by these processes, as well as to experience fear of the future and a permanent state of anxiety. Therefore, in the modern social reality, there is an adequate demand for the formation of a "response" to new, including digital challenges and risks, as well as in the strategic development of regulatory and adaptive measures. The author substantiates the need to develop a strategy for techno-digital security and include it in the relevant federal regulations.
Highlights
В данном случае невозможно не согласиться с основателем и Президентом Всемирного экономического форума Клаусом Швабом: «По масштабу, объёму и сложности это явление, которое я считаю четвёртой промышленной революцией, не имеет аналогов во всем предыдущем опыте человечества» [1, с. 9]
С другой стороны, характер, глубина и объём таких открытий за последние десятилетия, а также возможности, которые они открывают, чреваты перевоплощением научного наследия в личное средство достижения негуманистических целей, выражающее гегемонию определенных элитарных групп

Summary
Автор акцентирует внимание на том, что сегодня человечеству, чтобы сформировать равновесно-безопасную социальную среду, необходимо вникнуть в суть процесса четвёртой промышленной революции. Поэтому в современной социальной реальности складывается адекватный запрос на формирование «ответа» на новые, в том числе цифровые вызовы и риски, а также необходимость в стратегической разработке регламентирующих и адаптивных мер. Ключевые слова: четвёртая промышленная революция, индустрия 4.0., социальная реальность, техно-цифровая безопасность, человек, дегуманизация, социум, прогресс, парадокс.
