The confidence and security in the use of resources and the benefits the Information Society, should be one of the key factors to accelerate its development. Unfortunately there is a lack of awareness of information security for both citizens and businesses, which is one of the most significant entry barriers for the use and spread of ICTs.

The dependence between different information systems and services, means that organizations are much more vulnerable to threats and their security.
