Summary/Abstract: National security is one of the most important objectives of a state that assures its independence, sovereignty and protection of human and civil rights of its citizens. This duty is fulfilled by intelligence services in accordance with the legal provisions. In the current international context threats to national security are diversified. Terrorism represents one of the greatest threats of the 21st century to national security for any state. Its forms of manifestation are unpredictable and hard to anticipate. The question is if Romania’s intelligence services are capable of countering threats to national security.The existing conflicts outside Romania’s borders can pose a threat to national security. The current technological progress along with the use of internet has determined the authorities to redefine the strategies and techniques used to counter cybernetic threats. These strategies used must be in accordance with the legal provisions regarding human rights. The article is focused on analyzing the legal provisions regarding national security and the infringements of human rights that may occur in countering national security threats alongside with a comparison of technical surveillance measures used in criminal proceedings and national security affairs
