The Threat of Cyberspace Activity to Public Order and Safety as a Condition for the Introduction of Emergency States

Summary/Abstract: Zagrożenie bezpieczeństwa i porządku publicznego działaniami w cyberprzestrzeni jako przesłanka wprowadzenia stanów nadzwyczajnych ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem bezpieczeństwa finansowego The Threat of Cyberspace Activity to Public Order and Safety as a Condition for the Introduction of Emergency States with a Particular Emphasis on Financial Security This paper outlines issues related to the possibility of introducing one of the states of emergency specified by the Polish Constitution in response to cyber activity and cyber attacks that threaten public safety and security. To examine the issue, the definition of cyberspace is analysed. The author also highlights the danger of the cyberspace threat in today’s globalised world. In this context, both national and international regulations are discussed. The paper also focuses on the concept of financial security in the country. Because the term “financial security” is not defined explicitly in either the Constitution or subordinate legislation, an attempt is made to produce an appropriate definition. Cyber operations and cyber attacks that may cause a direct threat to a country’s financial system, ultimately posing a threat to the financial security of citizens, are of particular interest.
