Abstract
Author presents one of the most significant aspects of modern individual security which provides individual and group insurance in contemporary society. Insurance becomes important partner to the state in providing social and economic dimension of security as the state gradually withdraws from the area of some social and other societal programs. At the same time, according to its business and cumulative capability, insurance becomes generator of economic development of the state and/or the entire region. Human life is tightly connected to the process of political and economic globalization, technological development, flexibility and mobility, which presents new challenges and dangers at the same time. One can hardly find responses to modem threats of individual security, moreover the measures for their implementation - thereby insurance and state roles are vital in achieving adequate models of individual security in modem society. State as primarily societal organization determines political and legal framework as well as mechanisms of surveillance of the insurance, while insurance as important national economic subject needs to follow social activities and changes, as well as to offer new products and achievements capable to respond to the needs of effective and individual modern man's security.
