Importance of Dealing with Cybersecurity Challenges and Cybercrime in the Senior Population
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 26
Abstract
This article deals with the importance of focusing seniors’ attention on cybercrime and cybersecurity. We should perceive cybersecurity as a key component of state security. Technological development has brought new forms of crime in this area. The people above 55 belong to the most vulnerable group in terms of cybersecurity threats and consequently they become a common target for cyber criminals. Prevention in this area is therefore of the utmost importance. Information and communication technologies make our lives easier. They speed up communication and information access and as well as access to various services on one hand. But in case of insufficient security, an increasing dependency of the public and private sector on these technologies is increasing the threat of a cybercrime. This makes cybersecurity one of the biggest challenges that need to be properly addressed by the state.<br/><br/>
