Abstract
Information security has an emerging importance, even in people’s daily life, even in country-level policymaking, but these two are inseparable. National information security strategy, applied legal regulation and the actual awareness of citizens are interconnected. The article shows the legal regulation of the last decades in Hungary, the relevant laws and their impact on information security, based on the legal aspects of cybersecurity and cyberterrorism. The focal points in the legisla- tion are the Act on Electronic Public Service of 2009 and the Information Security Act of 2013. The paper points to the advancing interest on the cybersecurity by the side of the government and therefore the more and more detailed legal regulation implied by that.
Highlights
In the last seven decades there was a huge advance in information technology
From the time Konrad Zuse made the first Turing complete computer in 1941 and the building of Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), the first really universal computer in 1946, information security continuously has been a part of information technology. [1: 206] In the beginning it had a narrow joint focus, but it has been gradually widened
The first pointto-point se- rial cable-based connections were inefficient, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) started the “Intergalactic Network” initiative to use the existing telex network for computer communication in 1962. [2: 65] Later ARPA started the ARPANET network in 1969 which connected University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Stanford Research Institute’s Augmentation Research Center, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), University of Utah’s Computer Science Department in the beginning, but later it was broad- ened and its name changed to Internet
