Summary/Abstract: The article’s objective was to analyse the premises of the policy concerning the Republic of Poland’s cyber-space protection, presented in the document entitled The policy of protecting the cyberspace of Republic of Poland, published by the Ministry of Administration and Digitization of Poland and the Internal Security Agency in 2013. The current article examines the postulates and guidelines included therein, and also confronts them with selected elements of the system of Poland’s cyber-space protection. The author is ready to agree with the creators of the strategy discussed that the complete management of the tele-information risk is impossible. It may only be feasible to attain a certain, acceptable level of such management. The implementation of the priorities of the discussed policy may, presumably, contribute considerably to this end. Particularly important in this context are the following: precise definition of competencies of entities responsible for cyber-space security, creation and implementation of uniform, for all entities of the government administration, a system of management of cyber-space risk, as well as formulation of related guidelines for non-public entities, and also creation of permanent system of coordination and exchange of information between entities responsible for cyber-space security and the cyber-space users themselves, and finally, making the latter fully realise the methods and measures of assuring cyber-space security.
