Phenomena in the Cyber World
2015
This chapter describes and evaluates the cyber world, including its phenomena, from a strategic perspective. As no universally accepted definitions for the cyber world exist, associated literature and publications address it in many different ways. A five-layer model is constructed for cyber threats, which include cybervandalism, cybercrime, cyber intelligence, cyberterrorism and cyberwarfare.

Fałszerstwo dokumentów ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem przestępczości internetowej jako wyzwanie dla organów państwa
2018
Celem niniejszego opracowania jest przedstawienie zagrożeń wynikających z fałszowania dokumentów, a szczególnie wykorzystania nowoczesnych technologii do tego niecnego procederu. Zaprezentowane zostały definicje dokumentu i fałszerstwa oraz podjęta została próba przedstawienia aktualnych kierunków rozwoju przestępczości w obszarze IT. Autorka zwróciła uwagę na problem sieci TOR (ang. The Onion Router), która stanowi obecnie największe zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa w zakresie autentyczności dokumentów. W artykule zwraca się także uwagę na konieczność przedsięwzięcia przez organy państwowe działań zmierzających do zapobiegania przestępczości związanej z wiarygodnością dokumentów.
