Abstract

The article discusses the findings of analyses of information security levels in Polish universities and presents the results of comparative analyses performed currently and those of security level studies conducted in 2008. The re-examination has demonstrated that there has been no significant improvement in the level of security. Despite the increase in public awareness of threats on the Internet and the increase in general public’s ability to protect their own information resources, the analogous trend in universities has not occurred. Resources are still not adequately protected. The authors present the results of the comparative analysis and try to explain this paradox in conclusion.
