Abstract

With the rapid development of information and communication technologies and the increasing dependence of modern civilization on them, the number and significance of threats to the functioning of the whole of society (not only smart society) are constantly increasing. Prevention, security, and protection against cyber threats pose a challenge that will have to be faced in the future. This article presents systems thinking and system dynamics approaches to solving complex problems and shows their potential use in cybersecurity, with a particular focus on the current state of cybersecurity in the Czech Republic.

Author Biographies

Ondrej Dolezal, Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, Rokitanskeho 62, Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic

Ondrej Dolezal, is a young researcher (PhD student supervised by HT). His focus is on mathematical modeling, computer science, computer simulation (Agent Based Modeling, system dynamic) and object modeling (UML, BPMN).

Hana Tomaskova, Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, Rokitanskeho 62, Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic

Hana Tomaskova, Ph.D. published more than 90 works: Including four papers published in impacted paper (one other is in the press and 4 others are under review in journals) 40 papers are listed in database of web of science, 29 papers are listed in Scopus database.

HT is an author of one book and a coauthor of another book. During her doctoral studies, she specialised in marketing and optimisation in special algebras. As a postdoc, she has also begun to focus on modeling, namely System Dynamics, Agent-Based Modeling, UML and, most recently, BPM, which allows her to use everything from her previous studies.
