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.

Cybersecurity w pytaniach i odpowiedziach
Wojciech Ciemski
Co o cyberbezpieczeństwie każdy wiedzieć powinien W świecie, w którym większość naszych mniej lub bardziej wrażliwych danych przechowywana jest w sieci, cyberbezpieczeństwo powinno być tematem numer jeden. Niestety, na ogół nie jest, bo… Po prostu nie chce się nam myśleć o zastosowaniu odpowiednich zabezpieczeń. Stają się one dla nas kluczowe dopiero, kiedy ktoś się cyberwłamie i realnie skradnie coś, co było dla nas istotne: hasło do poczty e-mail, pieniądze z konta w banku, zdjęcia, które wolelibyśmy zachować dla siebie, itd. Tyle że wtedy jest już za późno. Ta książka powstała po to, by jej czytelnik zdążył wyprzedzić zagrożenie. Stanowi wprowadzenie do zagadnienia cyberbezpieczeństwa. Podzielona na kilka kluczowych części (systemy operacyjne, sieci komputerowe, aplikacje webowe, kryptografia, wreszcie cyberbezpieczeństwo jako takie), pozwala zapoznać się z najważniejszymi zagrożeniami i ze sposobami zabezpieczeń. Przybliża terminologię związaną z tematem i stanowi świetny punkt wyjścia do dalszego zgłębiania jego wybranych aspektów. Cyberniebezpieczeństwo czyha. Czy jesteś na nie przygotowany?
