Abstract

Cyber technology is pervasive and its key role is growing up every day, citizens consider cyber technology as a commodity. Mobile devices represent the most recent revolution in both technology and society, they are perceived as something different from computers even if they play, among others, the same role and immediately became part of our daily life, a wearable accessory as our wallet or wristwatch. Extremely user-friendly devices are nowadays used by formerly digital divided citizens having no idea about potential drawbacks. As a side effect of globalisation and massive cyber services the number of crimes both perpetrated at local and global level is growing up. We propose to devote a specific session to foster a “culture” of cybersecurity.
