Segurança digital: análise dos procedimentos em segurança da informação atrelada ao uso da Internet por militares do Comando Geral na PMMA

Abstract

In the digital age, the role of information security is of fundamental importance to institutions. With the growth and evolution of technology along with the popularity of the internet, there is also a big problem: the so-called cyber crimes. The military working at the General Command Headquarters were bogged down in the digital environment and without the culture of having secure access to information, which could make them easy targets among malicious people. In this way, the present work sought to analyze the procedures in information security of the military that work in the General Command of the Military Police of Maranhão linked to the use of the Internet. From this analysis it was possible to observe the dangers and vulnerabilities of the same, showing the errors and actions during the use of this tool and measuring the level of knowledge of the military on digital security. In addition, the Internet's emergence and history, good security practices, risk statistics, attacks growth and vulnerabilities, as well as some technical concepts by authors related to the subject were discussed in this research. The research is characterized methodologically as applied, non-probabilistic, quantitative, data collection and descriptive. In this study, 35 military personnel belonging to the General Command responded to a questionnaire. The data reflect the need to create a security policy. On the other hand, there is a shortage of information security procedures. Although there are tools that help in the prevention of attacks, they do not seem sufficient in the face of the problem faced by the human factor.
