MANAGEMENT OF OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CURRENT CYBER THREATS AND WAYS TO FIGHT FRAUD AT FINANCIAL COMPANIES

Abstract: The multiple ways of accessing the virtual environment are changing, those who access the Internet are changing and the role that the Internet plays in our lives. In 1995, only 1% of the world’s population had access to the Internet. There are now over 4 billion Internet users worldwide and this number is growing. Over time, cyberspace has generated a series of controversies, starting from the difficulty of being given a unanimously accepted definition. At both state and institutional levels, an attempt was made to define this new concept, the results being different and adapted to the specifics of each organization. Thus, in the Cyber Security Strategy of Canada, cyberspace is presented as “the electronic world generated by the interconnection of computer networks”, and in the Cyber Security Strategy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, it is defined as “An interactive domain of digital networks that store, modify and transport data”.
