MOBILE SOFTWARE FOR ENHANCING CYBERCULTURE

Abstract

In the new information age, mobility has become a sure thing. Smart phones and tablets are among the most dynamic devices and, most likely, the focal point of the technological development of modern electronics. By analyzing this dynamics, it is difficult to give a definitive definition of the term. We are increasingly (and more) dependent on these technologies, communication, connection, transfer and information. All this are possible due to the mobile applications running on these devices. That's why in this paper we'll highlight how mobile applications help users enhance their cyber security culture. Most applications can be downloaded from a platform or store and are generally created and developed by companies like Apple, Google, Windows, BlackBerry, etc. Downloading is free of charge, except for certain applications available in professional versions that need to be paid. There are hundreds of applications with information about cyber security, but the difference does not make by content, but the way it is presented, the ease of finding it, the added value. The application architecture must be simple and easy to understand. It has to emerge from the style of using a smartphone, rely on already reflexive behaviors and do not need to have its own user manual. What if, in addition to telling the user the traffic status, a GSM distributor application would suggest traffic variants but of the higher speeds? Or would it also communicate information about the degree of confidentiality, integrity and availability? We'll show how different mobile applications bring attention to cyber security laws in different countries. In addition, some mobile applications introduce dictionaries of cyber security-specific terms, ways to report cyber security events / incidents.
