The article explores the subject field of digital technology security. The article examines the specifics of this scientific field, its predecessors (information security, cybersecurity, etc.), the causes and consequences of its internal transformation, and the participation of various disciplines in this process. The method of research of problems of development of a new scientific direction in the article is scientometry, the source base is the Russian electronic library( NEB), the Russian science citation index (RSCI) and the scientometric Internet portal Google Academy. The article shows that if until recently a similar topic was associated with the key terms of technical, mathematical and managerial (automation, Cybernetics) Sciences, today it is supplemented with terms, methods and technologies of economic, legal and managerial Sciences (more than 60% of all publications). Not only the development of science and technology, but also changes in state policy in our country had a significant impact on this transformation and the subsequent rise in scientific activity. The study also showed that Russia has a serious reserve in this subject field, especially in technical and computer science.
