TERMINOLOGY CONFUSION IN ENSURING CYBERSPACE SECURITY

PovzetekTerminologija je temeljna za razumevanje in obravnavanje neke tematike, še posebej, če ta tematika vpliva na reševanje varnostnih vprašanj v sodobnem varnostnem okolju, ki ni omejeno le na fizične meje in posamične države. Svet je s kibernetskim prostorom in informacijskim okoljem postal soodvisen ter medsebojno povezan s pomočjo informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije, zato so se pojavili novi termini, ki jih posamezniki, strokovna javnost, države in mednarodna skupnost razumejo drugače in se posledično tudi različno odzivajo, kar vpliva na varnost vseh sodelujočih. V prispevku želimo prikazati, da urejanje varnosti v kibernetskem prostoru brez enotne in strokovne terminologije ni dovolj, še posebej, če upoštevamo definicijo kibernetske varnosti. Ključne besedeTerminologija, zaščita informacij, informacijska varnost, kibernetska varnost, kibernetska obramba.AbstractTerminology is fundamental to understanding and addressing a particular topic, especially if that topic has implications for addressing security issues in a modern security environment that is not limited to physical borders and individual countries. With the existence of cyberspace and information environment, the world has through the use of information and communication technology become interdependent and interconnected. As a result, new terms have emerged which are understood differently by individuals, the professional public, countries and the international community. Consequently, their responses differ, also affecting the security of all the involved entities. The aim of this article is to show that the regulation of security in cyberspace without uniform and professional terminology is not enough, especially if we consider the definition of cyber security. Key wordsTerminology, information assurance, information security, cyber security, cyber defence.
