Basic approaches to assessing risks and threats in decision support systems

Mutual relations of countries, primarily in the socio-economic and political spheres, have been and are important aspects of fully-fledged development for centuries. In modern realities, different approaches are used for assessing different risks and threats, and decision support systems are created that allow real-time data collection, analysis and reporting on the further development of the situation. This article is devoted to analysis of the main approaches used in the field of strategic risk assessment and threats in decision support systems to obtain a comprehensive assessment result. Particular attention is paid to the use of the Goldstein scale in the decision support system to obtain quantitative estimates of events for further prediction of the situation. As a result of the research, an assumption is made on combining the Goldstein scale with the hierarchy analysis method to obtain a comprehensive assessment of risks and threats.
