3.5.4. Social campaign of educational and preventive nature The widespread use of systems connected to the Internet by the citizens and the increasing importance of the availability of services offered by cyberspace forces the necessary to raise awareness of the safe methods of using the Internet and to sensitize the citizens to the emerging threats. Awareness and knowledge on how to prevent and combat threats are key elements in the fight against these threats. Only responsible behaviour of appropriately educated user can effectively minimize the risks arising from the existing threats. It should be emphasized that in the modern world the assurance of ICT security is largely dependent on the knowledge and actions of each user of cyberspace. Due to the fact that both individuals as well as public institutions, entrepreneurs, social organizations are at risk of crime in cyberspace, the campaign will be multidimensional and will take into account the necessary diversity of forms and content of communication, depending on the needs of its recipients. It is assumed that the public campaign will be long-term and widespread. Due to the ICT security conditioning the implementation of public tasks, the addressees of information campaigns will be, in particular, government administration employees and entities whose resources are included in the ICT infrastructure of CRP. It is assumed that the educational and preventive campaign will be directed to the public, and in particular: 1) children and youth – as the group most susceptible to influence. Education should begin already from an early age in order to develop habits which will protect young people from the dangers lurking on the Web (e.g. from a phenomenon called cyberbullying – violence on the Web, making dangerous acquaintances, obscene content, hacking, addiction to the Internet). Knowledge about the dangers of cyberspace should be received by a child, in the first place, at school at all levels of education (primary school, lower secondary school, upper-secondary school). 2) parents – as those responsible for the education of successive generations. Parents bear responsibility for the preparation of children to function in a society, including information society. With the aim to effectively oversee the activities of a child on the Internet, parents should get adequate knowledge about the dangers of cyberspace and the methods of their elimination. 3) teachers – since 2004, the education of teachers within the specializations has taken place in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of National Education, defining the standards of teacher education.3 As a part of the mandatory classes of higher education teachers gain basic knowledge in the field of information technology, including the safe and conscious use of ICT systems. 3 Regulation of the Minister of National Education and Sport of 7 September 2004 on teacher education standards (OJ No. 207, item 2110).
