Abstract:
The current security context requires proper and consolidated solutions in order
to lower the number of risks posed by the ongoing national security threats. Strengthening
the security culture is one of these solutions, as it can ensure the engendering of desirable
attitudes towards existing security risks. Shortly, security culture is a combination of
knowledge and attitudes toward the security issues of the state. In Romania, since 2010,
the consolidation of security culture is an assumed objective within the National Defence
Strategies. Over time, different Romanian institutions have taken several steps to achieve
this goal, but a main actor is represented by the Romanian Intelligence Service, as it took
multiple measures in order to have a better-informed population and better trained
authorities. In addition, the National Cyber Security Directorate has been actively involved
in strengthening the cybersecurity culture, an extremely important branch of the security
culture. Taking into consideration that every human activity is more and more connected
to the cyber space, people have to face many risks coming from this direction.
In this article you will find information about some measures taken in Romania
in order to strengthen the security culture. The main objective of this article is to
emphasize the importance of creating a common security culture, but also to spot the
limits of such a process. For accomplishing this objective, it was used “literature review”
as a research method.
