The paper deals with security issues in a globalized, economically oriented world. The authors present a general, theoreticalpractical view of a systemic, object-process approach to analysing security threats of various categories. The paper generally analyses and categorises the sources and characteristics of threats according to various factors, which in practice may pose a threat to objects of interest or processes that have significant value for their owners. Emphasis is placed on threats of an economic, social, societal, or political nature that are typical of societies today, primarily unilaterally oriented towards economic gain. The authors' approach is purposefully general so that it can be applied to all sectors where security analysis is necessary i) to identify threats, weak spots in protected objects, states, or processes, ii) to discover vulnerabilities, iii) to realistically assess risks and propose protective measures.
