FOCUS
Brig Gen László Kovács: The appearance of cyber security and cyber operations in the new
National Security Strategy of Hungary...................................................... 3
At the end of April 2020, Hungary's new National Security Strategy, entitled “A Secure Hungary in a
Changing World”, was publicised. The title was eloquent in itself. The new document, which replaced the
previous National Security Strategy, issued in 2012, defines Hungary's relation to security in a new security
environment, in which one of the priority areas is cyberspace and the social and economic processes that
appear in it. Focusing on these aspects this paper compares the new and the old strategies, including the
results expected from the new strategy – with regard to cyberspace in the new strategy – and the implications
that are for both cyber security and cyber operations, in further legislation and in organizational change.
Keywords: security, strategy, cyber security, cyber operations

Péter Lenhoffer – Col (Ret) László Nagy: The impact of the terrorist attacks on 11 th September 2001
on the national security system of the USA...................................................19
The post-World War 2 era generated great changes in assessing security. The development in the field
of industry, economy, and technology coupled with social transformations and intertwined multitier
international relations resulted in complex and closely interconnected new security challenges. The beginning
of the 21 st century marked a turning point not only in the security policy of the USA but also
in that of the entire world. Security challenges grew global and of international origin. After the 9/11
attacks international terrorism induced a change of paradigms in the security system of the USA.
Keywords: security, national security, intelligence community, terrorism
Gábor Molnár: Territorial defence theories and concepts – the role of territorial defence in current
security policy environment...............................................................35
Since the past years the issue of territorial defence as a concept of defence strategy has been discussed
all over Europe. In several European countries – including some NATO member states – the cause is
that territorial defence has been an important part of national defence while in other countries the issue
turned into paramount in the recent years only. However, there is no consensus among the researchers
of the issue on the tasks of territorial defence or its role in the present, changed security policy environment.
The objective of the present paper is to provide a brief insight into the theories and concepts that
may determine the establishment and shaping of prospective and existing territorial defence systems
in NATO member states.

Lt Col Sándor Nagy: Some thoughts on civil protection with special regard to tasks at the time
of armed conflicts. ..................................................................... 47
Today, the term civil protection in Hungary is more in line with the English concept of „civil protection”
than with „civil defence” that have evolved from air raid defence identified as activities during the
period of armed conflicts. However, due to the change in the security environment, there is a shift in the
focus towards a civil protection task system typical for armed conflicts. Instead of the former human
resources-centric civil defence, a paradigm shift toward military means is necessary in this respect.
A capability-based system could better respond to the challenges of a changing environment. A military
approach instead of the disaster management approach should be in the focus in the development of
capability objectives for civil protection organizations in times of armed conflict.

Defence Forces. ....................................................................... 58
Nowadays information has become a very fashionable expression, but it is less known how a welldesigned
system can facilitate the decision-making of a military commander. The author interprets
