The article studies genesis of price and pricing processes in the system of economic security. From theoretical and methodological point of view the research investigates different approaches to the definition and shaping the system of economic security, identifies key problems of pricing and shows lines of possible minimization of processes of price manipulation. It highlights non-linear character of pricing, drawbacks of today’s legal tools of regulating pricing processes (such as tariff and antitrust regulation), including those on the basis of administrative and court practices and causes of economic crises arising. From the practical point of view the article studies possibilities of developing the adaptive automation system, which can provide transfer, processing and storage of information about pricing processes. The goal of the research is to distinguish the role of pricing processes in the system of economic security and to develop the concept of uniform automated system of monitoring pricing processes aimed at resolving problems of complex management of economy and providing economic security of the country. On the basis of mentioned-above drawbacks (risks) the authors formulate the suggestion of shaping a new system of management and control over pricing processes based on maximum use of information technologies. These technologies should foster conducting analysis and risk estimation by using information and software means of the new system, including systems of controlling databases, the system of fast development of algorithms for information analysis and system and applied software. For this research such methods as system analysis, retrospective analysis and analytical methods of data investigation were used. Empiric materials of research were presented by open data and analytical reports of the Federal Antitrust Service of the Russian Federation, decisions and rules of the Supreme and Arbitration courts of the Russian Federation, official data of state power bodies.
