Abstract
Information technology is the center of gravity of everyday human activity. From the eyes of a citizen, a company, or a nation, successful every day activities need to be conducted while being aware of cyber security and protection, aiming to anticipate possible criminal activities that would damage our property (both physical and intellectual) and our privacy. Cyberwar has become an important threat to our national security, involving malicious activities across nation-wide organizations in offensive and defensive operations, and cyber-attacks are now part of everyday news.
