Informatics Security as an essential component of National Security
Abstract
The scientific-technical revolution and the social informativeness in their vertiginous development constantly show the necessity to upgrade the culture in Informatics so as to take advantages of the possibilities given by technology in favour of the social processes. However, using these media imply having risks at different levels: personal, instituti onal, national, and even extraterritorial. That is why, computer security has become one of the components of National Security because it can be a powerful weapon to penetrate and attack objectives of the state in the fields of economy and the army, which is of great importance for the country.
