Summary/Abstract: Security in cyberspace is an important element of any state’s policy. The formulation of strategies in this area is the responsibility of state authorities, but it should also be an object of concern for the entire political class, including the opposition. This work is an attempt to review the Polish state documents from the last few years which define threats in cyberspace and present ways of counteracting them. Among them is the Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic of Poland for 2019–2024. The article is also an attempt to capture the views of parliamentary groupings on cybersecurity and to answer questions such as: How do representatives of the authorities perceive threats in cyberspace, also in the context of the said document? Are representatives of all parliamentary groups involved in the debate on cybersecurity? Were their postulates in this regard included in their political programmes in 2019 parliamentary campaign?
