                                          Digitalization of human activity leads to a change in the types of economic activity and
                                          everyday behavior patterns of most consumers in the world. The development of
                                          innovative information technologies leads to the introduction to the market of
                                          qualitatively new products that are integrated into the Internet and are in high demand
                                          among modern users. The presence of a highly competitive environment encourages
                                          companies to identify ways of optimal development with the involvement of advanced
                                          approaches that will ensure high positions in the functioning market and form an
                                          economically justified demand for brand products from users. Achieving the presented
                                          tasks involves the use of modern marketing strategies in the digital environment. Thanks
                                          to the optimization of various digital marketing tools, it is possible to ensure long-term
                                          communications with the target audience and achieve a high level of loyalty among
                                          different groups of users. The use of modern web analytics tools allows generating
                                          information about various phenomena on the company’s web resources. The
                                          development of server technologies makes it possible to accumulate large sets of
                                          heterogeneous data and process them thanks to the use of machine learning algorithms.
                                          The evolution of data processing methods, thanks to the use of various mathematical
                                          methods and models, has led to the widespread use of artificial intelligence in modern
                                          conditions. The effectiveness of artificial intelligence is explained by the ability to learn
                                          from large amounts of information and adapt the results of modeling to the changing
                                          influence of internal and external environmental factors. The above advantages led to the
                                          integration of artificial intelligence algorithms in digital marketing, which made it
                                          possible to ensure a qualitatively new level of digital tools implementation in the process
                                          of interaction with the target audience. Digital marketing communications led to the
                                          accumulation of various information about the company’s activities and personal data of
                                          users, which involves the construction of a secure data storage system against the
                                          criminal actions of third parties. The approaches implemented in modern cybersecurity
                                          systems make it possible to reliably protect the information of all participants involved
                                          in marketing processes in the digital environment. The combination of digital marketing
                                          tools, artificial intelligence algorithms, and modern cybersecurity technologies allows to
                                          achieve a multiplicative effect in increasing the economic results of companies’ activities.
