Objectives:
The purpose of this article is to describe the nature of contemporary cyber threats and their social consequences, as well as to ensure the security of the information society in cyberspace. The analyses focus on digital identity, threats to network users, and both mobile and stationary devices in use.

Methods:
The activities related to the discussion of factual material and the systematization of conclusions from the conducted scientific considerations were made possible by the use of selected theoretical research methods. Analysis and synthesis allowed for the decomposition of the studied cyberthreats into their component elements, allowing for the identification of their essence and the diagnosis of the relationship between them and users functioning in the information society.

Results:
Today's cyberthreats are increasingly advanced and dynamic, requiring organizations and cybersecurity professionals to continually refine their defense tools and strategies. The use of behavioral analytics allows for the detection of anomalies in system and user behavior, allowing for faster response to potential attacks, while AI-based mechanisms enable automated threat detection and adaptive adjustments to security measures to new attack vectors.

Conclusions:
Investing in raising user awareness and competence is fundamental. Regular training helps raise awareness of threats such as phishing and social engineering, and also teaches best practices such as creating strong passwords and using password managers. A security culture that prioritizes these threats minimizes the risk of errors and increases the organization's resilience to attacks.
