Sažetak
In recent decades the nature of IT security incidents have changed, from isolated attacks on information systems to intentional, targeted and sophisticated cyber threats at individual, institutional or even national level. Interconnected capabilities of digital technologies bring many benefits, but also introduce a host of new vulnerabilities with far reaching implications. Even so it is common to use both terms interchangeably, cyber security differ from information security. In this paper we discussed about the shift from information to cyber security, mainly as the change of paradigm in protection from ongoing attacks. While in information security era it was enough to conduct basic protection from ‘common’ attacks, in cyber security era organisations need to implement smart, innovative and efficient controls to detect and prevent advanced and emerging cyber attacks. Cyber security activities should no longer be solely the responsibility of IT departments or assigned individuals (CISOs or similar), but institution-wide efforts with all employees engaged. As digital technologies are strategically aligned with business strategy, the same should be done with cyber security. We have conducted a preliminary research on how mature are security controls in large companies in Croatia related to important or critical national infrastructure. We came out to conclusion that basic protection is efficient, but there are still rooms for improvements in taking a collective ambition towards holistic cyber security governance and applying more advanced controls.
