This article explores the modernization of public administration in Ukraine amidst escalating and dynamic national security threats. It analyzes key challenges facing the public governance system, including hybrid aggression, cyber threats, economic instability, environmental risks, and information warfare. The paper emphasizes the necessity of transforming traditional governance approaches, integrating innovative technologies, and developing adaptive mechanisms for crisis response. Contemporary international practices and standards that can be implemented in the Ukrainian context to enhance the public sector's efficiency and flexibility are examined. The study substantiates the importance of developing institutional capacity, strengthening coordination among state bodies, and engaging civil society and international partners in shaping and implementing national security policies. Specific directions for modernization are proposed, including the digitalization of public services, implementation of risk management systems, strengthening analytical capabilities, and developing human resources. The article underscores that successful modernization of public administration is crucial for ensuring state resilience, its ability to withstand contemporary threats, and effectively protect national interests in an era of global transformations.Special attention is paid to the issue of increasing public trust in state institutions and ensuring transparency in administrative decision-making, which is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of strategic tasks in the field of national security.
