Summary/Abstract: The current state of the digital society reveals the need of protecting the civil rights related to their own privacy and the ethical exploitation of their personal data under cybersecurity systems. These cybersecurity systems must take strong measures to avoid any data breach as a consequence of a cyberattack.The institutions of the European Union (EU) promote the use of the New Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) addressing the needs present in the citizens. Such technical benefits trigger the emergence of new services that thanks to the internet are changing the protocols of treatment in relation to the customs that modern society had established.The defence of these rights, which are related to cybersecurity, benefits every citizen, and more specifically those who can’t overcome the digital gap such as elderly people, disable or people who experience social exclusion.
