Abstract

The term “public services” refers to activities involving producing public goods and related services that create economic value, such as healthcare, water supply, law enforcement, public safety, education, or environmental protection. Most of these current services have an internet-based interface suitable for e-government. Transferring the operation of these services from physical to online creates new kinds of opportunities that malicious actors can exploit for their purposes. The digital transformation of public services highlights the need for extensive expertise in cybersecurity, data and knowledge sharing, and synergistic collaborations of all stakeholders to achieve high-quality information security. This paper analyses what information security means for e-administration in Hungary today and the related legal framework.
