Abstract
Cybersecurity has only recently become a major topic in the Slovak republic, mainly because of the introduction of new legislation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation and the Cybersecurity Act as well as the impact of a pandemic that moved many human activities into the digital world. This legislation makes public and private institutions legally responsible for keeping the nation’s IT infrastructure and data safe under the threat of legal consequences. This sudden shift saw many companies and public institutions scrambling to meet the new legal demands, but have often found a lack of professionals, institutions, systems, but mainly information. Cybersecurity is a young science with its terminology still in debate. Within this paper we will be defining key terms necessary for discussions on this topic.
