Fundamentals of cyber security and opportunities for developing the information security awareness of the penitentiary organization

Abstract

Nowadays, the state, as well as all its organizations and citizens, have become vulnerable to multi-complex electronic information systems, without which the functioning of the state would be unthinkable. With a modern economic system, society is not prepared to operate when malfunction or breakage occurs in infrastructure, equipment or services, therefore these clearly must be protected. The human factor can be easily attacked and influenced without adequate affinity and background knowledge, as we need to know the basic systems to defend effectively. In my study, I discuss information security, the significance of the human factor, awareness raising, and current issues of information protection. I also present the types and methods of possible attacks, the possibilities of defense against attacks, the importance of education, training, awareness and the possibilities of their development in the penitentiary organization.
