Abstract

In modern business conditions, organizations have achieved their missions, visions and goals of using information systems. They enable them to share data, information and knowledge with a changing environment, to carry out daily activities smoothly, and to create the basis for strategic decisions. As new modalities for compromising information systems security emerge due to the changing unsafe environment and threats that lurk from cyberspace, it is necessary to pay attention to them and to respond appropriately, since it is no longer only a question of vulnerability of information and communication infrastructure and information, but also of human life. In the security of information systems itself, in addition to the technical security measures implemented following the defined security policy, it's necessary to pay attention to the human factor and security awareness, as the weakest link, and to act to minimize threats.
