ABSTRACT
The fact that NATO has acknowledged cyberspace as the fifth dimension of combat operations
indicates that this problem issue is really topical and is pointing at the direction from which
the possible threat can be expected. However, the issues of information communication
technology (ICT) security on the national level have been tackled in numerous countries
for many years. Technological advancement has resulted in making communication, and
at the same time services rendered in cyberspace, an international domain. Thus, the
aspects of cyberspace threats should be considered through the international prism. The
above-presented approach has become an incentive for the author to take up research on
international activities in terms of cyberspace defence and reaction to the already identified
as well as future threats.
