The economic security of the region is one of the main elements of the country's economic security system. The article examines the current state of economic security in the region, identifies key problems, challenges, internal and external threats to economic security, proposes directions for the development of economic security in the region, and develops a balanced system of economic security indicators with justification of their threshold values. As the base region for the study, we have selected the Krasnodar region, one of the leading regions of the country. The issues of ensuring economic security are considered, the main indicators of economic security of the country and the region are formed. An assessment of the region's economic security system by monitoring economic security indicators is proposed, for each of which the indicator under study is estimated within the threshold (normative values). This method allows you to assess simultaneously the various spheres of life in the region, determines the risk zones and growth points in terms of the remoteness of the threshold value of the regulatory indicator. According to the proposed system, the threshold values of the indicators of economic security and the main socio-economic indicators of the Krasnodar region were grouped into four areas: the financial and economic, social, labor, demographic and social health of the population. The assessment of the state of economic security of the Krasnodar region is given, topical problems of economic security are considered and the main directions of ensuring the economic security of the region are identified
