In the national scientific literature, the terms «national security system» and «national security system» are used quite often, but usually without clear and understandable differences in the definitions of the definition and exhaustive list of components of these component systems. The methodology uses the concept of «system» and a systematic approach in different interpretations, a logical analysis of different variations of definitions of «national security system» and «national security system». System analysis has been revealed, as historically one of the most popular approaches that can reflect multidimensional research objects, has long been a scientific tradition of studying national security. Several variants of system approach have been considered: national security theory as a system; national security as a property of the system; national security as a system. A number of works and scientific approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of «national security system» are analyzed. Based on the analysis of current legislation and individual scientific positions, it is proposed to consolidate at the legislative level the author’s definition of «national security system» and «national security system». It is substantiated that the national security system of the state is a static (ideal) institutional system that exists in an ideal state and which cannot be considered in dynamics, and the national security system is a dynamic, permanent functional system that constantly works in real mode. time to reflect on external and internal threats, minimizing losses from them and the main method of which is to ensure the national security of the state.
