Abstract: Fourth Industrial Revolution, based on digital platforms is characterized by a convergence of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres. These phenomeon disrupts patterns of development and opens new paths to development. (WEFORUM. 2018) Digital technology development presuppose methodological challenges not only to business or individual interest, but holistic approach to national security issues. Hybrid threats, economic crises, social inequalities, and labor migration are among the main challenges of global security. What are possible manifestations of disruptive technology in national security interest in the broader sense? Is it possible timely to identify and react to threats to competitivness, "job killer" or law system? Critical infrastructure are parameter, which identifies assets or system as element of security. Topic reveal interaction between disruptive technology and critical infrastructure in the context of national security. Authors argued, that the theoretical insights, obtained by document analysis, classification, critical analysis, abstraction methods will be useful in practical use, to provide expert knowledge and a deeper understanding manifestations of disruptive technology in security issues at all levels.
