The authors, unconstrained by the framework established by the NCSA (National Cybersecurity System Act), explore a wide range of topics relevant to cybersecurity. This act marked the initial attempt to establish a legal framework for cybersecurity and implemented the provisions of the NIS Directive. The book presents international and EU regulations in the field, shedding light on the measures employed to combat cybercrime and cyberterrorism. Additionally, it delves into the regulations concerning cybercrime in select European countries, addressing the issue of potential conflicts between state actions in ensuring cybersecurity and safeguarding human rights.

One of the key advantages of this book is its comprehensive and synthesized approach to the cybersecurity system in Poland. It adopts a research perspective, focusing on the security of the state and citizens as the fundamental analytical level. Moreover, the book delves into various additional cybersecurity-related issues, including cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and the complex problem of collision between states' efforts to ensure cybersecurity and protect human rights.

The target audience of this book spans a wide range of readers, including scientists, researchers, members of legislative bodies, practitioners (especially judges, prosecutors, lawyers, law enforcement officials), experts in IT security, and officials of public authorities. The majority of the authors are scholars and researchers affiliated with the War Studies University in Warsaw. Some of them also work at the Academic Centre for Cybersecurity Policy, a think tank established by the Ministry of National Defence of the Republic of Poland.

This book offers valuable insights into the legal aspects of cybersecurity in Poland, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field. Its multidisciplinary approach and interdisciplinary perspective make it an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in advancing cybersecurity and promoting digital security in Poland and beyond.
