The links between cybersecurity and civil protection in the last decades became strong due to the rapid increase in the use of Informatics Technologies (IT) worldwide and the need to increase citizens’ protection from various disasters and uncertainties. The objective of the present study is to explore the role of cyber security in enhancing civil protection in Greek reality. Methodologically, the study has been based on a survey with a sample of 345 executives of IT companies in Greece by using a structured questionnaire. The basic results of the research study showed that cyber security technologies positively affect civil protection, cybercrime reduction practices have a positive influence on civil protection, and there is a significant relationship between the government’s role in cyber security and civil protection. Cybersecurity also may have a significant influence on the principles of emergency operations: prevention, mitigation, preparation, response, or emergency evacuation and recovery. The main conclusion from the study is that it is very important for public and private agencies in Greece, as well as in the rest of Europe, to embrace new emerging cybersecurity technologies to help enhance cyber security and civil protection. Potential vulnerabilities in cybersecurity pose substantial risks to the effectiveness and efficiency of such critical infrastructure and directly impact the functioning of states, economies, and societies.

Cloud computing has become an integral part of modern business operations, with organizations of all sizes and in all industries turning to the cloud to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase flexibility. However, the adoption of cloud computing has also introduced a range of new security challenges, as sensitive data and critical systems are moved to cloud-based infrastructure that may be managed by third parties. This chapter discusses the various types of cyber threats that can occur in the cloud, including data breaches, malware, and cloud-based attacks, as well as the measures that organizations can take to protect themselves against these threats on their data, infrastructure, and applications. This chapter examines also the role of cloud providers in securing data in the cloud, and the importance of implementing strong security measures to protect against these threats. By understanding the nature of these threats and the steps that can be taken to mitigate them, organizations and individuals can more effectively protect themselves and their sensitive data in the cloud.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
