In the traditional information technology field, Security consists in the protection against non-authorized access to systems and system components, so as to avoid damage to the hardware and the software, theft of electronic data as well as disruption or malfunctioning of the provided services. Cybersecurity occurs when the essential aspect is not only the protection of information resources, but also the safeguard of humans using them. In the Cybersecurity context, humans are considered both, potential targets of cyber-attacks and agents, unknowingly participating in the cyber-attacks.
The topics related to the Cybersecurity are becoming more and more relevant, due to the increase of information technology items and goods, (e.g. smartphones, vehicles, houses, televisions, …), usually integrated to Internet, therefore extremely vulnerable, normally used by an increasing number of people. Due to the complexity of this topic, in terms of social aspects (e.g. the privacy regulation) and technological implications, Cybersecurity is one of the major challenges in the contemporary world.
