The rapid evolution of generative AI is transforming cybersecurity practices by providing advanced capabilities for threat detection and response. For start-ups and SMEs, these technologies offer a cost-effective way to defend against sophisticated online threats without the need for massive capital investment. While AI facilitates the identification of anomalies and malicious behavior, it also introduces new risks, such as deepfakes, zero-day exploits, and the potential for attackers to manipulate AI models themselves. The study examines the impact of large language models and artificial intelligence on the software and architecture of cybersecurity systems. The main types of attacks on artificial intelligence systems and the changes in the software development paradigm that result from them are being considered. To address the evolving threat landscape, this study proposes a Dual-Layer Hybrid Security Framework that integrates high-speed algorithmic detection with cognitive analysis. We present an algorithm for building a security system using LLM models. We also propose a software application tailored explicitly for the comprehensive analysis of network traffic while detecting cybersecurity incidents using Python and the Pandas library. Furthermore, it leverages artificial intelligence to provide a comprehensive approach to detecting and mitigating cybersecurity threats. This will enable start-ups and small businesses to manage their cybersecurity in-house.

The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual approach to the formation of an integrated logistics platform for perishable agri-food products within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The methodological framework is based on systems and scenario analysis, SWOT assessment, comparative analysis of the logistics potential of EAEU member states, and modeling of logistics chain efficiency under different levels of integration using panel empirical data for the period 2015–2023. Selected indicators of logistics infrastructure are employed to provide a descriptive assessment of the current state of agrologistics as of 2023. The modeling results demonstrate that coordinated investment policies and regulatory harmonization can significantly enhance the efficiency of agrologistics chains in the context of regional integration. The findings confirm that digitalization and the development of cold chain infrastructure are key determinants of logistics sustainability, while the coordination of regulatory and investment mechanisms substantially improves logistics efficiency across the EAEU member states. Based on the estimated parameters, a scenario-based forecast of agrologistics development up to 2030 is proposed. The study introduces a scalable model of an integrated agrologistics platform incorporating a cluster-based approach, a unified digital framework, and public–private partnership mechanisms adaptable to the specific conditions of EAEU countries. The scientific novelty of the research lies in substantiating a platform-based approach to cross-border agrologistics grounded in the synergy of digital and physical solutions, institutional coordination, and targeted infrastructure policy.

  DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF REPORTING-RELATED PROCESSES IN BULGARIAN ENTERPRISES (CONCEPTS AND REALITIES)

  The study presents the use of digital technologies to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility in the context of the digital transformation of reporting-related processes in enterprises in the Republic of Bulgaria. This transformation includes automating data entry, using advanced analytics, and leveraging artificial intelligence-driven ... The study presents the use of digital technologies to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility in the context of the digital transformation of reporting-related processes in enterprises in the Republic of Bulgaria. This transformation includes automating data entry, using advanced analytics, and leveraging artificial intelligence-driven tools to optimize workflows. This changes both the way enterprises collect and analyze data and the way they report, which in turn leads to improved decision-making. The aim of the study is to examine the current state of the use of digital technologies in reporting activities of Bulgarian enterprises and the attitudes towards the implementation of new technologies in their reporting activities. The methods of analysis and synthesis, scientific observation, induction, deduction, structured interview, Crosstabs, SWOT Analysis, etc. were used in conducting the study. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of digital transformation of processes related to reporting are highlighted. Based on the analysis of the results of structured interviews, the problems in the implementation and use of digital technologies in reporting activities and the attitudes of small, medium and large enterprises in Bulgaria are outlined.
