Summary/Abstract: The dynamic development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) contributed to the emergence of a new field of activity; that is cyberspace. It is one of the most important changes in the safety environment that carries a completely new security threat and, therefore, requires new regulations, protection and information to assure security of the institutions and people who use cyberspace. In the era of globalisation, cyberspace does not have any barriers, which can lead to many conflicts between hostile states, gangs, terrorists, extremist groups, hackers, the frauds or even paedophiles. Thus, as one can see, the stakes are high when it comes to securing critical infrastructure or financial companies’ results as well as citizens’ safety, including children.
