Subject. Security is an essential element of the public (public) sector of the economy, the maintenance of which accounts for a significant amount of budgetary resources. In this area, a large number of employees are involved, implementing functions relevant to this industry and providing services.The purpose of the article is to substantiate security as a sector of the public sector, to identify the internal links with other sectors of the public sector — education, health, culture, etc.Methodology. On the basis of summarizing the statistics of employment in the security sector, the author has formulated the trends in the public sector in recent years. The article summarizes the experience in the execution of this function by the authorities of certain foreign countries.Results. It is determined that the security system is extremely centralized and institutionalized mainly in containment mode, focusing mainly on the neutralization of the direct impact factors (terrorism, fires, technological accidents, etc.). But the factors of indirect influence (economic and social disparities, the violation of the rule of law and equality, physical health of the population and so on.) have not received the proper institutional design.Conclusions. The article concludes that to ensure effective security, one should not create a single center of responsibility, since the function of risk neutralization is of no less importance in other branches of the public sector. One of the most promising ways of counteracting global risks is the mechanisms of internal selforganization of society.
