Summary/Abstract: The current paper sets to explore the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic is a strong incentive for accelerated digitalization and a significant shift in economy. The other hypothesis is that developments in those sector sunder the novel pressures of a worldwide sanitary crisis also come with significant risks, which require increased attention from the national security establishment. In order to explore those hypotheses, the author has documented the overall highlights of the technological context – including the concept of SMART administration, some security developments during the pandemic – with a stress on the health system, but also on the infodemic that completely altered the course of recent events, while also providing some practical examples pertaining to the Romanian social reality.
