Abstract

The article explores trade secret protection management in the context of the shadow digital economy (SDE). The study aims to identify threats to trade secrets associated with SDE and propose effective protection methods. It emphasizes that the economic value of trade secrets lies in their confidentiality, making them vulnerable to data leaks, cyberattacks, and other risks, particularly in the digital environment. The authors examine the nature of trade secret in terms of SDE spread. The paper presents methods of trade secret protection, including documentary, economic-organizational, and information-analytical types. Special attention is paid to the combined use of patent protection and encryption techniques. The study concludes with key findings, highlighting the need for enhanced cybersecurity, international cooperation to combat cyber espionage, and improved organizational measures. This work significantly contributes to the understanding of commercial secret management and offers valuable recommendations for businesses operating in the digital economy.
