The modern society today faces with the greatest achievements of technical and technological development, associated by rapid expansion of information technology and automation of work activities in all social life spheres. Such development in modern society has brought a large number of facilities on one side while, on the other side the presence of deliberate misuse of this technological achievement has also created a number of problems and risks towards individuals and groups in the society in general and national safety in particular. The approach how criminals (offenders) commit crimes has changed. Digital general approach has opened new opportunities for unscrupulous behavior. Millions of euros have been lost by businesses and customers from the use of computers as part of the commission of the crime. Computers and different networks can be used to attack victims or to prepare global violent acts such as terrorist particular among other. In absence of technology and trained personnel to deal with this new threat known as cybercrime, the security agencies are challenged by specialized cyber offenders which are known as hackers because apart from managing to break into state institution websites they are able to have unauthorized access to information classified as state secret and top-secret. Due to the global nature of computer crime, the general action in preventing and combating this type of crime, consists on building bridges of cooperation and coordinated action of all countries, and in this case of Kosovo in order to set international standards in the field of defense and security of information systems which standard would guarantee the success of a sustainable national perspective in combating threats from cybercrimes. In this paper, among others I will present the global aspect of cybercrime, the legal infrastructure defining cybercrimes and their forms, in, the role of security institutions in combating crime in general with particular focus on tackling cyber challenges, current threats and future threats related to cybercrimes, recommendations to combat these crimes, etc.

The following chapter does not have an ambition to thoroughly explore all the cyber security-related topics. However, I chose a way to open the hottest topics from the national security perspective. All the parts do not have any deep conclusions, but should serve the reader as a guide for further reading. In each part I provide you with some further references that are the most discussed and cited papers in the academic debate. However, as cyber security is an explosive topic today, we can assume that considerable amount of articles are accidentally omitted. The current securitization wave of cyber threats as one of the most serious national security issue contributes to the production of a huge amount of literature, making the finding of a wisely compiled literature not an easy task. This is the reason why the articles mentioned in the following chapter are chosen from those that are the most debated ones.
