That said, public administration of national security encompasses the mechanisms to ensure the safeguarding of vital interests of man and citizen, society and the state, and accordingly the sustainable development of society, prompt detection, prevention and neutralization of real and potential threats to national interests. Key words: geopolitical security, geopolitical threats, public administration, national security, social security, COVID-19.
