Abstract

Entering into the “Information Age” brought us some new challenges. One of them is cyber crime and cyber warfare shooting upwards: instead of formal law which became a dead letter, nowadays club law dominates on the Network. How can enterprises and people manage their own security? I have been collecting several news of security incidents for fifteen years. Analysing this systematic collection some characteristic attributes of the new era can be identified: traditional definitions and concepts related to security do not work anymore. Both of technology and formal knowledge are necessary but not enough to survive. Organisations as well as individuals must (or have to) develop their own culture of security.
