Abstract

With the increasing number of bomb threats around the world, which are often part of hybrid
attacks combining conventional tactics with cyber and information warfare, security is becoming an
increasingly urgent issue. Slovakia has seen an increase in such threats, especially in schools. This article
analyzes the nature of these threats, focusing on attacker tactics and motivations. It also examines the
preparedness and reactions of the Slovak security forces based on an extensive research study. This study
focuses on the perception of cyber security risks among university students in order to gain knowledge
relevant to security in schools. The research revealed a high level of risk perception in the area of cyber
espionage, disruption of IT infrastructure, hostile campaigns and cyber terrorism. These findings highlight
the importance of education and robust security measures in schools. The article concludes by emphasizing
a comprehensive security approach that integrates physical security measures with robust cyber security
protocols and a culture of vigilance.
