Summary/Abstract: Dynamically ongoing civilisational progress – the source of changes with a multilayered cultural, social, political, economic and technological basis, as an irreversible process of globalisation – is an unstoppable process. All that remains is the possibility of intelligent adaptation or adjustment within limits this process presents. Having both positive and negative connotations, the globalisation process forces action not only or not so much to ensure external security, but also focuses on the development of social needs and care in maintaining the state’s broadly understood internal security. An important issue in this case is the ability to assess risk, threats and safety, which is related to a state’s specific educational strategy for safety built on the basis of knowledge about the impact of various groups of factors. Indispensable education in this area is systemic and long-term and is targeted at various social groups. The authors also draw attention to the currently emerging infodemic phenomenon: an information epidemic as a flood of reports having little to do with facts, the so-called plague of social media and more. This information chaos, when careful selection is lacking, is a threat to education, security and factors shaping social, cultural, intellectual capital, etc.
