The emergence of asymmetric forms of threats to national and international security arise from completely different assumptions and perceptions related to the provision of security which, until recently, have been based on a static approach towards the management of conventional threats. As a result, changing social conditions and tensions (brought about by rapid technological development) have found individual social environments and classes completely unprepared for confrontation with this new, global, security situation. As the effective management of such threats is a sig-nificant condition for the smooth functioning of information and communication systems that are a part of critical infrastructure, cyber threats require special attention. In the Republic of Slovenia, it will be necessary to plan measures to counter cyber threats and apply these on the basis of a systemic approach. Due to limited financial, personnel and technological potentials, it is impossible to think of a different course of action. In this context, the defence sector, including the Slovenian Armed Forces, must adopt a more active and significant role.
