Abstract: Knowledge management is becoming a key success factor for modern organizations facing rapid technological changes and growing amounts of data. However, while effective knowledge management can increase innovation and competitiveness, it simultaneously opens up a number of security challenges. This paper explores the security aspects of knowledge management, with a particular focus on the protection of confidential information, intellectual property, and the security of digital systems for storing and sharing knowledge. Threats such as unauthorized access, data leakage, and risks related to the human factor are analyzed. Through a literature review and practical examples, the paper emphasizes the importance of integrating security measures into all phases of the knowledge management cycle – from collection and storage to distribution and application. In conclusion, knowledge management security should not be viewed as a technical issue but as an integral part of an organizational strategy that ensures long-term sustainability and protection of competitive advantages.
