Abstract(s)
Manifestamente reconhecido, o ciberespaço é um domínio presente no quotidiano de
qualquer pessoa, invariavelmente, no que diz respeito à sua vida pessoal ou profissional.
No trabalho diário dos polícias, este domínio é, também, inevitável. A PSP tem vindo, nos
últimos anos, a adaptar-se ao ritmo acelerado da evolução tecnológica e da mutação de
formas de crime, sendo a criação de um núcleo dedicado a este fenómeno a prova disso.
Contudo, a falta de formação especializada na prevenção dos seus próprios profissionais, é
uma realidade alarmante que deve ser contornada.
O cerne do estudo centrou-se na análise dos comportamentos e atitudes que os polícias
têm, em relação à cibersegurança. Recorreu-se a uma abordagem da metodologia de
pesquisa quantitativa, através de questionário, por forma a recolher dados relativos aos
comportamentos e atitudes de cibersegurança dos polícias do COMETLIS.
Os resultados revelaram que os inquiridos têm atitudes adequadas aquando da utilização do
ciberespaço. Complementarmente, foi possível revelar que, o fator “faixa etária” tem
influência nos respetivos comportamentos relativos à cibersegurança, enquanto o fator da
classe policial não apresentou diferenças significativas. Por último, os polícias consideram
útil a implementação de um Quick Reference Guide de cibersegurança na PSP. Constatou se, deste modo, que os polícias do COMETLIS estão consciencializados da importância de
se protegerem de ameaças no ciberespaço.
Este estudo contribui para uma compreensão do estado atual da cibersegurança e ciber higiene dos polícias do COMETLIS, que, apesar de positivo, aponta, também, para a
necessidade contínua de formação e sensibilização nesta matéria.
Clearly recognised, cyberspace is a domain that is present in everyone's daily life, invariably in terms of their personal or professional life. In the daily work of police officers, this domain is also unavoidable. In recent years, the PSP has been adapting to the rapid pace of technological evolution and changing forms of crime, and the creation of a centre dedicated to this phenomenon is proof of this. However, the lack of specialised training in prevention for its own professionals is an alarming reality that needs to be addressed. The core of the study focused on analysing the behaviour and attitudes that police officers have towards cybersecurity. A quantitative research methodology approach was used, using a questionnaire to collect data on the cybersecurity behaviours and attitudes of COMETLIS police officers. The results revealed that the respondents have appropriate attitudes when using cyberspace. In addition, it was possible to reveal that the "age group" factor has an influence on their cybersecurity behaviour, while the police rank factor did not show any significant differences. Finally, police officers consider it useful to implement a Quick Reference Guide on cybersecurity in the PSP. This shows that COMETLIS police officers are aware of the importance of protecting themselves from threats in cyberspace. This study contributes to an understanding of the current state of cybersecurity and cyber hygiene among COMETLIS police officers, which, although positive, also points to the ongoing need for training and awareness-raising in this area.
