Abstract
Our exposure to information technology
makes digital security a critical issue. The rapid increase
in cyber attacks at the world level does not escape RNM
either. The latest developments with the cyber attacks on
state institutions, the general observation about the lack
of education of non IT people in the area of digital
security, and the risk from harmful consequences for
state resources, but us as citizens too, was a motive to
write this scientific paper. This research paper focuses on
assessing the readiness and capability of North
Macedonian citizens for digital security. The research
examines a number of variables, including the frequency
of security breaches experienced by businesses, employee
awareness and training programs, the ability to recognize
and stop attacks, the value of digital forensics and the
amount of money spent on digital security measures.
Additionally, the study examines North Macedonia's
ability to address the latest digital security threats,
including anonymous bomb threats, and the potential for
easier detection of perpetrators. The results of this
research can provide detailed information on how the
digital security situation in North Macedonia is currently
shaping future practices and policies aimed at improving
that situation. The overall objective of this study is to
support ongoing efforts to strengthen digital security and
protect against online threats.
