Purpose The purpose of this paper is to define and delineate cyber security culture. Cyber security has been a concern for many years. In an effort to mitigate the cyber security risks, technology-centred measures were deemed to be the ultimate solution. Nowadays, however, it is accepted that the process of cyber security requires much more than mere technical controls. On the contrary, it now demands a human-centred approach, including a cyber security culture. Although the role of cultivating a culture in pursuing cyber security is well appreciated, research focusing intensely on cyber security culture is still in its infancy. Additionally, knowledge on the subject is not clearly bounded and defined. Design/methodology/approach General morphological analysis (GMA) is used to define, structure and analyse the cyber security environment culture. Findings This paper identifies the most important variables in cultivating a cyber security culture. Research implications The delineation of the national cyber security domain will contribute to the relatively new domain of cyber security culture. They contribute to the research community by means of promoting a shared and common understanding of terms. It is a step in the right direction towards eliminating the ambiguity of domain assumptions. Practical implications Practically, the study can assist developing nations in constructing strategies that addresses the key factors that need to be apparent in lieu to cultivating its envisaged national culture of cyber security. Additionally, the GMA will contribute to the development of solutions or means that do not overlook interrelations of such factors. Originality/value Delineating and defining the cyber security culture domain more precisely could greatly contribute to realizing the elements that collectively play a role in cultivating such a culture for a national perspective.

Povzetek Terminologija je temeljna za razumevanje in obravnavanje neke tematike, še posebej, če ta tematika vpliva na reševanje varnostnih vprašanj v sodobnem varnostnem okolju, ki ni omejeno le na fizične meje in posamične države. Svet je s kibernetskim prostorom in informacijskim okoljem postal soodvisen ter medsebojno povezan s pomočjo informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije, zato so se pojavili novi termini, ki jih posamezniki, strokovna javnost, države in mednarodna skupnost razumejo drugače in se posledično tudi različno odzivajo, kar vpliva na varnost vseh sodelujočih. V prispevku želimo prikazati, da urejanje varnosti v kibernetskem prostoru brez enotne in strokovne terminologije ni dovolj, še posebej, če upoštevamo definicijo kibernetske varnosti. Ključne besede Terminologija, zaščita informacij, informacijska varnost, kibernetska varnost, kibernetska obramba. Abstract Terminology is fundamental to understanding and addressing a particular topic, especially if that topic has implications for addressing security issues in a modern security environment that is not limited to physical borders and individual countries. With the existence of cyberspace and information environment, the world has through the use of information and communication technology become interdependent and interconnected. As a result, new terms have emerged which are understood differently by individuals, the professional public, countries and the international community. Consequently, their responses differ, also affecting the security of all the involved entities. The aim of this article is to show that the regulation of security in cyberspace without uniform and professional terminology is not enough, especially if we consider the definition of cyber security. Key words Terminology, information assurance, information security, cyber security, cyber defence.

The purpose of the article is to describe the changes NATO undergoing in response to the challenges of our time. Today NATO, as a key element of European and Euro-Atlantic security, is adapting to changes in the modern security environment by increasing its readiness and ability to respond to any threat. Adaptation measures include the components required to ensure that the Alliance can fully address the security challenges it might face. Responsiveness NATO Response Force enhanced by developing force packages that are able to move rapidly and respond to potential challenges and threats. As part of it, was established a Very High Readiness Joint Task Force, a new Allied joint force that deploy within a few days to respond to challenges that arise, particularly at the periphery of NATO’s territory. NATO emphasizes, that cyber defence is part of NATO’s core task of collective defence. A decision as to when a cyber attack would lead to the invocation of Article 5 would be taken by the North Atlantic Council on a case-by-case basis. Cooperation with NATO already contributes to the implementation of national security and defense in state policy. At the same time, taking into account that all decision-making in NATO based on consensus, Ukraine’s membership in the Alliance quite vague perspective. In such circumstances, in Ukraine you often can hear the idea of announcement of a neutral status. It is worth reminding that non-aligned status did not save Ukraine from Russian aggression. Neutral status will not accomplish it either. All talks about neutrality and the impossibility of Ukraine joining NATO are nothing but manipulations, as well as recognition of the Ukrainian territory as Russian Federation area of influence (this country seeks to sabotage the Euro-Atlantic movement of Ukraine). Think about it, Moldova’s Neutrality is enshrined in the country’s Constitution since 1994. However, this did not help Moldova to restore its territorial integrity and to force Russia to withdraw its troops and armaments from Transnistria.
