Abstract

Prema istraživanju iz 2022. godine uporaba računala i interneta na prošlogodišnjoj je razini, međutim digitalna pismenost i korištenje digitalnih rješenja i dalje nisu na zadovoljavajućoj razini. 1 S obzirom da Republika Hrvatska nije iznimka kada je riječ o digitalizaciji i digitalnoj pismenosti, Europska unija donosi rješenje problema odnosno strategiju pod nazivom „Digitalno desetljeće Europe“ gdje su navedeni ciljevi za 2030. godinu. Cilj strategije je omogućiti poduzećima i građanima da iskoriste održiviju i prosperitetniju digitalnu budućnost u kojoj je na prvom mjestu čovjek. Od velike je važnosti osjećati se sigurno prilikom korištenja Interneta kao temelja svih ostalih digitalnih rješenja. Sigurnosni mehanizmi za zaštitu od mogućih digitalnih napada na osobne podatke nastoje pratiti digitalne promjene koje su gotovo svakodnevne. Analizom mogućih uzroka kibernetičkih napada te izvora i na kraju posljedica tih napada kroz rad su istražena moguća rješenja za poboljšanje sigurnosti te je naglasak stavljen na važnosti poznavanja načina na koji napadači pokušavaju na nezakonit način doći do povjerljivih podataka korisnika digitalne tehnologije. Provedenim istraživanjem metodom uspoređivanja triju poduzeća koja su doživjela kibernetički napad zaključuje se da se radi o prijetnjama visoke razine rizika čije aktualne metode suzbijanja nisu dovoljno efikasne zbog čega je potrebno formiranje i kontinuirano usavršavanje napredne strategije obrane od povreda digitalnog identiteta. Osim toga od velike je važnosti informiranje zaposlenika o sigurnosnim mjerama i mjerama opreza kako bi se rizik potencijalnih kibernetičkih napada sveo na minimum.

Abstract (english)

According to the research from 2022, the use of computers and the Internet is at last year's level, however digital literacy and knowledge how to use digital solutions are still not on satisfying level. 2 Considering that Republic of Croatia is not an exception when it comes to digitalization and digital literacy, European Union brings the solution, a strategy entitled the "Digital decade of Europe „where the aims for the year 2030 are listed. The aim of this strategy is to enable companies and citizens more sustainable and prosperous digital future in which man is in the first place. It is very important to feel safe when using the Internet as the basis of all other digital solutions. Safety/security mechanisms for protection against possible digital attacks which are based on personal data try to keep up with digital changes that are almost daily. Through the analysis of the possible causes of cyberattacks, sources and ultimately the consequences of these attacks, possible solutions for improving security were researched in my thesis. Emphasis was placed on the importance of knowing how attackers try to illegally access confidential data of digital technology users. Conducted research using the method of comparing three companies which were cyber attacked it is obvious that these are high-level threats whose current suppression methods are not efficient enough so it is necessary to form and continuous improvement of an advanced defense strategy against digital identity violations. In addition, it is of great importance informing employees about safety measures and precautions in order to minimize the risk of potential cyberattacks.
