Objective – The aim of the article is to show the interdisciplinary nature of security and information sciences and the relationships that exist between them in the area of threats generated by digital civilisation. Attention was paid to the importance of selected components of the information security culture in shaping the security culture. It has been pointed out that these components are a permanent subject of information science research. Method – A method of analysis and criticism of the literature was used. Results – Information technology as a discipline dealing, among others, with the functioning of people in the world of information (e.g. individual and group information management, information literacy obligations, information needs and behaviour – also in everyday life, information culture) supports research in the field of security sciences (especially human safety) conducted in the context of the development of technical civilisation and communication. Threats that the information society generates require studies, e.g. in the field of personal, social, health and ecological security (protection of the infosphere against information overload and humans against information stress). As part of these problems, theoretical and empirical research is undertaken, which is also dealt with by information science researchers. The combination of scientific reflection undertaken by specialists in both areas is indispensable in order to be able to see in the information security culture a common research subject enabling the diagnosis of various aspects of the broadly understood information culture.
