E-GOVERNANCE, A CHALLENGE FOR GENERAL SECURITY
E-GOVERNANCE, A CHALLENGE FOR GENERAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Transparent administration means open to the citizen, without compromising his data and security, which can have consequences for individual and collective well-being. Interventions from outside which make even experts in the field conjecture about the ways of putting e-administrative services into use and the consequences that total openness has for general security. Based on the recent cyber attacks in the region, the challenge for the public administration is its transparency and modernization. In addition to modernization, the administration must maintain its own security from outside interference. This paper shows some factors that can affect the security of administrative data and consequently the security of the state and its vital mechanisms. Qualitative, empirical and interpretive methods have been applied in the treatment of the topic. The work brings a series of recommendations, including the application of a standard, respecting the principle of transparency and modernization of the administration, to be more vigilant for general and individual security. The application of this standard, also recommended by experts in the field, paves the way for alignment with the prevailing standards within the European Administrative Space, and that safety in the general interest is primary.
