CYBER SECURITY AS PART OF THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Cyber security with focus on defining the cyberspace or cyber threat is currently a very frequent topic. The main scope of this article is to inform the reader about cyber security problems and to identify the possible threats or difficulties in current digital space or IT space. The society is exposed to many kinds of threats on a daily basis. It is important not only to identify such threats but most importantly to apply adequate regulations concerning mitigation of such possible cyber risks. The progress achieved in research and development is significant; however, in addition to the pros brought about by this process we have to be mindful also of its cons. Currently we are able to observe that the most developed countries are trying to outcompete each other in cyber influence in form of an undeclared digital war. All countries are defending themselves against cyber attacks and the European Union is no exception, neither is Slovakia.(1)
