Disinformation of the Digital Era Revolution in Terms of State Security

Purpose: The purpose is to discuss concerns related to the phenomenon of disinformation in the age of the digital revolution, with a particular focus on the security aspects. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study uses data from scientific and secondary data references in new IT technologies and digital society. Additionally, the publication cites the content of supporting publications, affiliated in the field of information security in a global environment. Data has been gathered from reports that estimate disinformation awareness in the digital society dimension. The IT and digital society environment are constantly, hence, the study is supplemented with original research results, confirming that there is a low level of public awareness concerning the disinformation in the digital environment.

Practical Implications: Taking into account the registered effects of the restrictions, decision-makers (government, supervisory boards, management boards and managers of companies) should accurately assess the performance of the logistics industry and verify the real impact of the pandemic on the development of the logistics services market and, indirectly, to take measures to stimulate the development of individual sectors of the Polish economy in the pandemic state. Originality/Value: Awareness of the social environment in knowledge about disinformation in crisis conditions is very important for safety. The publication is addressed to researchers, decision-makers, entrepreneurs, employees, the educational environment, and consumers. Similarly, to this postulate, the purpose of this exposition is also to systematize and discuss points of view, rationalizing further empirical research.
