Wpływ cyberzagrożeń na funkcjonowanie organizacji
Cyber threats impact on organisation functioning

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to examine an organisation's preparedness for internal cyber threats. Every year, more and more sophisticated cybercrimes are being committed and the scale of these incidents is increasing both quantitatively and qualitatively. Increasing amounts of money are being stolen, more and more sensitive information is being acquired and the impact of individual attacks is becoming more severe. Organisations are an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals. A target both directly and as a starting point for larger attacks. This puts them under immense pressure, especially when it comes to selecting and updating their tools and security practices. The current business landscape means that every organisation is potentially at risk - regardless of size. The development of information and communication technologies has resulted in an exceptional ease of access to and exchange of information. This availability of information as a result of the IT revolution has created the basis for the integration of knowledge, technology, economy and culture, evolving in effect into an information society. Information has become an essential economic good, conditioning social development, but also posing significant social, economic or cultural risks to this development.The development of the information society and newer and newer technologies in ICT systems, in addition to the obvious benefits, introduce threats to the security of both the systems themselves and the information processed and transmitted using them. The most common forms of ICT threats are hacking, hacktivism, cybercrime, cyberterrorism, cyber espionage, the use of cyberspace for military operations or the effects of uncontrolled use of the Internet in the social sphere. The article presents the types of cyber attacks, new models and techniques of cyber criminals and the results of own research on cyber threats in 500 organisations
