Continuous advancement of information technologies and enlargement of the cyberspace to a large extent stimulates economic and social progress of every country in the world. Information security represents a common interest of the entire mankind and it refers both to the global peace and development and to the national security of all countries. However, this advantage also entails new security risks and challenges. There are numerous risks and challenges faced by a large number of countries. The increase in the number of information systems and technologies, among other things, conditioned the setting up of new memory environments (Cloud Storage), which certainly represents a great challenge and is the subject of separate analyses. Furthermore, there is an evident increase in the number of malicious programs for mobile devices. According to the research presented by Symantec in April 2017 2, about 18.4 million of malicious programs were detected in 2016, which is 105% more than in 2015 (9 million). In 2014, approximately 3.6 million pieces of malware were detected. Revolution of new technologies The Internet revolution carries a number of extremely useful possibilities, so an evident huge increase in the number of users every day is no surprise. It is interesting to note that, since the beginning of the implementation of the previous Cyber Security Strategy for Montenegro (2013), the number of internet users on a global level has increased from 2.5 billion to 3.9 billion (until June 2017) 3. We can come across the expression “proliferation of cyber technology” in the literature. This term refers to the parsing or multiplication of technologies which, by connecting to the global network, also become a part of the cyberspace. One of the sources of cyber risk proliferation is the Internet of Things (IoT), a term first defined by Kevin Ashton, founder of the Auto-ID Centre at the MIT, in his presentation on the new possibilities of RFID in Procter & Gamble’s supply chain in 1999.4 Symantec Internet Security Report vol. 22 - https://www.symantec.com/content/dam/symantec/docs/reports/gistr22-government-report.pdf http://www.internetworldstats.com/emarketing.htm 4 RFID Journal – “That ‘Internet of Things’ Thing”: http://www.rfidjournal.com/articles/view?4986 2 3 7
