Nowadays, due to the benefits of technological development and the spread of the Internet, var-ious threats have started to be recognized. Still, the awareness of society, especially politicians andstate administration in this area is insufficient. This is also evidenced by the fact that initially this topicwas not discussed at all in the scientific and even popular literature. The author of the article poses aquestion: is there, then, an effective method of defense against cyber threats, since their effects canbe so disturbing? According to the author, the key to cyber security is the awareness of users of thedigital communication process, both at the administrative and social levels.
