It substantiates the necessity of forming a unified information picture and improving the scientific and methodological framework of information and statistical support.

Theoretical Implications. The research expands the understanding of the interrelation between the security environment of the border area and the functioning of information-analytical management systems, outlining approaches to their systematization.

Originality/Value. The originality lies in combining statistical analysis of operational results with security forecasting, focusing on the institutional development of information support of the SBGSU under wartime conditions.
