CYBER ATTACKS AND THREATS

The goal of this article is the presentation of current threats and possible attacks on IT systems. An analysis of attacks carried out using the Internet shows a growing threat to the security of data sent and stored in IT systems and equipment. The danger of losing such information refers not only to state organisations and institutions, but it can also pose a threat to private entrepreneurs and individual users. This is why all computer users, especially the ones connected to local or global networks, should realise the danger so as to protect themselves. Even basic safety measures introduced to secure internet connections can efficiently protect data from unauthorised access.

Threat Analysis in the Network-Centric Environment

Abstract The paper presents an analysis of the threats that one can face in the cyberspace and dangers affect the safety of a state and its citizens. The authors compare definitions of terrorism, particularly focusing on issues related to cyber terrorism. They explain concepts associated to terrorist activities in the network-centric environment. Next, the evolution of the threats awaiting in the Internet has been presented. Moreover, classification of cyber-attacks and current dangers that may occur in ICT systems has been analysed.

ICT security of a state

Abstract The paper presents the impact of the reliable ICT systems on efficient and safe functioning of a state. Moreover risks which faced communication and information systems have been presented. Furthermore authors proposed their own solutions that may improve the level of security of transmitted information. Then they indicated ICT systems that can be used for providing continuous and flawless exchange of information, with particular emphasis on the need of protection of information from unauthorized access, modification or destruction. Also some suggestions have been proposed for the modernization of IT systems, which could improve the secure dataflow and ensure continuous exchange of information between the components responsible for the security of the state.
