Summary/Abstract: The article presents a continuation of considerations on the projection of modern security studies, i.e. securitology. The subject of the research is the various forms of security studies. In constructing the classification of securitology, a division criterion was adopted that takes into account methodological differences between sciences. On the basis of a logical division of scientific problems, cognitive sciences and decision-making sciences were distinguished. The cognitive layer consists of descriptive securitology and theoretical securitology, the former comprising descriptive models from which, through logical modelling, theoretical patterns are created. The decision-making layer comprises, firstly, security engineering and policy, and secondly, normative securitology. This is a synthesis of description, theory, engineering and security practice, taking into account the achievements of the main currents in security research promoted by "descriptivists," "formalists," "mathematicians" and "pragmatists."
