EasyChair Preprint no. 7017

Abstract

This paper aims to present a methodology for researching the capacity of users in public sector and administration to manage their digital identity and operate in a safe and secure working environment. The methodology is based on a defined survey research targeting personnel and individual users operating in public cyberspace. Based on the analyzed survey results and formed observations, the paper suggests solutions for improving the competences of users in cyberspace and increase their cyber awareness. As a practical implementation of the proposed methodology, the author presents a developed “Cyber Awareness” portal. Its main purpose is to provide national and international information and resources on cybersecurity and information security, and to be the main point of knowledge access. The portal also provides opportunities to test users’ cyber knowledge, participate in public survey related to cyber topics, share and exchange information, opinions and useful practices on cyber incidents and cyber knowledge.
