The analysis of threats to the psychological security of the subjects of the educational process associated with the formation of a new, digital educational environment is carried out. Based on the results of the study, indirect and direct threats associated with activities both in the virtual environment in general and in the digital educational environment in particular are identified and characterized. It is concluded that the security of the digital educational environment lies not only in eliminating these threats, but also in using its capabilities to develop a system of value-semantic regulation of social behavior. The formation of a system of value-semantic orientations can be considered as an effective internal mechanism for ensuring psychological security. The principles of purposeful organization of this environment taking into account the requirements of psychological security are substantiated: assessment of threats associated with the use of digital means and the development of measures to limit them; assessment of the prospects of the planned digital means for personal development; determination, taking into account the identified threats and opportunities, of optimal digital means of organizing the educational environment; development of psychological and pedagogical technologies that meet the characteristics of the selected digital means; provision of conditions for internalization of social values in the process of indirect interaction between the subjects of the educational process.
