New complex problems arising in the modern security environment require a new, holistic approach that could ensure strategic decision-making in a qualitatively new system of global security – a multi-domain environment. The aim of this study is to explore the transformation of national security paradigms in the context of a complex, multi-domain environment, with a particular focus on the challenges and implications for public administration. The research adopts a conceptual and analytical approach grounded in a synthesis of theoretical models, strategic doctrines, and contemporary security literature. This article analyzes the traditional and contemporary theoretical context of national security ensuring in the multi-domain environment with links and emphasis of it to main task of conventional and non-conventional struggle for political interests achivement. The analysis identifies that the risks and uncertainty of the future security environment necessitate the need to ensure the conditions for the effective implementation of existing and potential strategic and operational capabilities to achieve certain goals plays and will continue to play one of the key roles in the successful implementation of national security tasks both on the territory of one's own state and on the territory of other states, that is, in fact, it should be transferred to the global security environment. Of particular interest in this aspect are irregular threats to achieve and strengthen power from other states and countering these threats. Findings highlight the strategic potential for ensuring security in a multi-domain environment provides for the theoretical possibility of actions at the intersections of interests or at the intersections of spheres, which is due to the growth of opportunities for technological and informational influence, in general, the use of special methods of point influence on the source of danger and gaining an advantage in the geopolitical environment. In this context, a steady trend is being formed towards the theoretical understanding and conceptual consolidation of the principles of globally integrated domains, which defines the development and justification of a system of all forces and means, state and non-state organizations, etc. as the main priorities for national security ensuring.
