CYBERBEZPIECZEŃSTWO W POLSCE I NA ŚWIECIE Pakiet 2 książki 1) STRATEGIE CYBERBEZPIECZEŃSTWA WSPÓŁCZESNEGO ŚWIATA Opracowanie odnosi się do kwestii cyberbezpieczeństwa w sferze nie tylko krajowej, ale również międzynarodowej, co pozwala na szersze spojrzenie na przedmiotową problematykę. W związku z tym należy je nie tylko ocenić wysoko, ale też szczególnie podkreślić ten fakt. Umiędzynarodowienie cyberbezpieczeństwa pozwala na skuteczniejsze działania w tej sferze, w tym na zapobieganie incydentom mającym niekorzystny wpływ na bezpieczeństwo systemów informacyjnych, a działania takie są ujęte właśnie w strategiach cyberbezpieczeństwa. Prof. Dr hab. Mirosław Karpiuk Zaprezentowane badania cechuje dojrzałość naukowa oraz doskonała znajomość tematyki, która nie ogranicza się jedynie do realiów polskich. Autorki bowiem wnikliwie omawiają i analizują także kształtowanie się systemu cyberbezpieczeństwa w Stanach Zjednoczonych Ameryki, Kanadzie, Francji i Republice Federalnej Niemiec. [...] W recenzowanej monografii można wyróżnić dwie części. Pierwsza jest o charakterze teoretycznym, w której Autorki koncentrują się na aspektach bezpieczeństwa cyberprzestrzeni jako elementu polityki państwa oraz na miejscu cyberbezpieczeństwa w systemie bezpieczeństwa. W drugiej natomiast zostały poddane analizie obowiązujące oraz przyjęte w ubiegłych latach w wybranych państwach strategie i polityki cyberbezpieczeństwa. dr Justyna Kurek 2) SYSTEM BEZPIECZEŃSTWA W CYBERPRZESTRZENI RP Przedstawione dociekania naukowe są trafne i merytoryczne. Wychodzą naprzeciw zapotrzebowaniu państwa i społeczeństwa. (...) jest to dzieło dojrzałe, merytorycznie spójne, ukierunkowane na potrzeby związane z tworzeniem systemu bezpieczeństwa w cyberprzestrzeni RP. płk. dr hab. inż. Piotr Dela, prof. ASzWoj Przedstawione do recenzji opracowanie, o niezwykle nośnym i ambitnym tytule System bezpieczeństwa w cyberprzestrzeni RP, dotykające niezwykle ważnej współcześnie problematyki cyberbezpieczeństwa jest dziełem zbiorowym, gdzie znajduje ujście wiele ciekawych wątków związanych z zakreślonym w tytule obszarem. dr hab. Mirosław Karpiuk, prof. UWM
CYBERPRZEMOC szczególnym zagrożeniem społeczeństwa informacyjnego
Marian Kowalewski, Marek Jakubiak
Wśród zagrożeń w cyberprzestrzeni szczególnie groźne jest zagrożenie cyberprzemocy – zagrożenie, które nie zawsze się dostrzega i wielokrotnie wręcz lekceważy, a które coraz częściej dotyka nas wszystkich. Najogólniej ujmując, cyberprzemoc możemy sprowadzić do prześladowania, zastraszania, szantażowania, nękania, obrażania i wyśmiewania innych osób lub grup za pośrednictwem współczesnych technik i technologii ICT. Prezentowana publikacja jest zbiorem wyników badań pracowników naukowo-dydaktycznych Zakładu Nauk o Administracji i Bezpieczeństwa w Administracji z Wydziału Administracji i Nauk Społecznych Politechniki Warszawskiej, które są upowszechniane i wykładane w procesie dydaktycznym.

Cybersecurity Research, Education and Management: University Perspective
Andrzej Kraśniewski
In this paper, we focus on those aspects of cybersecurity that are most relevant to universities, intending to provide academic communities with some knowledge that might be useful in their research, education and administration activities related to cybersecurity. The remaining part of the paper is organised as follows. In Section 2, we present basic characteristics of cybersecurity research, its scope and organisation, focusing on initiatives and activities relevant to universities. In Section 3, we show the landscape of cybersecurity education at universities, focusing on competencies acquired by beneficiaries of the educational provision. In Section 4, we discuss challenges faced by universities seen as institutions that have to assure a sufficient level of cybersecurity for their operation. Section 5 presents – as a case study – the developments in cybersecurity research, education and organization taking place at the Warsaw University of Technology. We conclude the paper with a few observations regarding the future developments in cybersecurity, relevant to universities.
