The article examines the issue of business economic security in the context of public policy, with a particular focus on the challenges faced by enterprises in Ukraine during the full-scale war. Business economic security is one of the key elements of the stable functioning of the national economy, as entrepreneurial activity serves as the foundation for economic growth, job creation, and state budget revenues. However, modern challenges such as war, inflation, currency fluctuations, political instability, and cyber threats jeopardize the stability of enterprises, emphasizing the importance of state intervention and support. The study analyzes the theoretical aspects of business economic security, including the concept of economic security, its main characteristics, and factors influencing the resilience of enterprises. The role of the state in ensuring economic security, particularly in wartime conditions when businesses suffer significant losses due to infrastructure destruction, asset loss, and production capacity damage, is also explored. The article pays special attention to analyzing the existing public policy mechanisms aimed at supporting business economic security in Ukraine. Legislative initiatives, regulatory tools, and institutional mechanisms used by the state to protect businesses from economic threats are reviewed. The article also highlights international approaches to shaping public policy in the field of economic security, which can be useful for improving national strategies. The authors consider the main threats to business economic security, including inflation, currency fluctuations, financial crises, political risks, war, international sanctions, as well as technological challenges and cyber threats. The war in Ukraine creates new economic and political risks that negatively affect the business environment, particularly through infrastructure destruction and loss of the workforce. The study proposes strategies and recommendations for enhancing business economic security in the context of war and economic crisis. In particular, it emphasizes the need to increase transparency and stability in public policy, develop partnerships between the state and business, and support innovative and technological initiatives. Implementing these recommendations will allow Ukrainian enterprises to better adapt to new challenges and minimize risks associated with economic instability. The article concludes by summarizing the key aspects of the study and stating that future research should focus on exploring new challenges related to post-war economic recovery and developing comprehensive strategies that will enable businesses to remain resilient and competitive in the face of both global and local crises.
