Summary/Abstract: Threats resulting from constant variability in the geopolitical, military or social spacedetermine the need to adapt the cyber infrastructure to contemporary realities. Cyberthreats have evolved over the years, intensifying and directing their activities at manylevels of the state’s functioning. This article describes the escalation of the main threats tocyber infrastructure in Poland over the period from 2010 to 2016, and also analyzes cyberincidents and the level of security of public administration websites. It is worth empha-sizing the increasing tendency in the number of official reports and confirmed cyberneticincidents by the CERT.GOV.PL incident response team, as well as cybernetic alarms gen-erated by the early threat warning system on the internet network ARAKIS.GOV. The seri-ousness of cyber threats is reinforced by the fact that more than half of all cyber threatsoccurring in the Polish Internet space over the period from 2010 to 2016 were classified as“high threat”, which constituted a fundamental challenge to the functioning of the state.
