Cyberbezpieczeństwo w perspektywie rozwoju e-partycypacji i w obliczu zagrożeń ery cyfrowej
Cybersecurity in the Context of E-Participation Development and the Threats of the Digital Era

Summary/Abstract: The modern digital era has brought about the dynamic development of information technologies that have begun to permeate every aspect of our lives, transforming the way society communicates and engages in public life. This shift has necessitated changes in public administration, requiring adaptation to meet the evolving needs of citizens. Electronic participation has become a subject of growing interest among researchers, international organizations, and state and local government institutions. The development of various forms of e-participation offers many opportunities but also presents significant challenges. This analysis focuses on identifying key threats such as disinformation, cyberbullying, and privacy protection issues. The intersection of online life with the real world is driving substantial economic, social, and cultural transformations, particularly in the areas of personal data protection, IT system integrity, and the prevention of cyberattacks. The advancement of new technologies is accelerating the automation of administrative processes within society. At the same time, new communication needs and expectations surrounding civic engagement are emerging. Despite the clear advantages of this phenomenon, the growing risk of cybercrime raises concerns and necessitates an examination of the actual level of protection and preparedness for the full implementation of IT solutions in civic participation. By analyzing these issues, the article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the world of e-participation, highlighting both the difficulties and the potential benefits of this evolving form of social interaction. It is worth considering whether the systems implemented thus far are sufficiently optimized to ensure security and allow for the free use of technological tools in civic life, as well as what regulatory and social mechanisms should be introduced to maximize the potential of e-participation while minimizing its negative consequences.
