The article discusses issues of ensuring economic security as one of the most important qualitative characteristics of logistics systems, which determines the ability to ensure the established parameters of material flows in the process of goods distribution when implementing digital systems and technologies. Contemporary risks and threats characteristic of the development of digital transport and logistics ecosystems are analysed. The key factors for ensuring economic security and their importance in logistics are examined from the point of view of ensuring operational control over compliance with established key indicators of product distribution. An interpretation of the concept of ‘economic security’ is given from the point of view of protecting a business entity from external and internal threats in order to increase the level of competitiveness and sustainability of business in the market. The issues of ensuring the parameters of goods distribution within the established thresholds are addressed in order to achieve the optimal functioning of the goods distribution system and to ensure the economic activity of the enterprise with all the necessary resources. Logistics systems are studied for the effective organisation and management of material flows, aimed at ensuring the reliability of operations and the implementation of the strategy of economic entities. The need to use modern digital technologies to increase the level of economic security in logistics systems and to ensure the transparency, controllability and traceability of material flows in the field of goods distribution has been demonstrated. At the same time, the very fact of digitising cargo delivery processes is considered from the perspective of the ecosystem paradigm and the platform concept. The patterns of transformation of traditional logistics operators into providers of digital logistics services are substantiated. A model of a cyber-physical ecosystem in logistics has been developed, enabling end-to-end management of business processes and data exchange in the distribution of goods.
