Thoughts on the Place and Role of Cybersecurity Awareness

The present paper examines the main aspects and main elements of the generally visible manifestations of cybersecurity awareness related to the human factor. Today’s modern info-communication solutions have opened up new opportunities and directions in this field, which can increase the efficiency of related activities and indirectly strengthen the human side of cybersecurity. The awareness itself goes beyond the traditional role of training or compliance with existing requirements in the regulatory environment, as the ultimate goal is to create an expectation of more security-aware thinking and behaviour. Numerous studies and surveys emphasize that, in the corporate or public sector, threats related to human resources are of particular importance. At the same time, various solutions for defence and cyber security awareness, as well as possibilities for increasing efficiency, are receiving more and more attention.
