The considerable losses caused by the low level of infospace’s cybersecurity and the limited financial resources available imply the need to found effective ways to improve the implementation of measures counteracting cyber-attacks. First, some aspects regarding the situation in the field are characterized, including: industries most targeted by cyber-attacks, common types of cyber-attacks, industries’ readiness to counteract cyberattacks, and causes of cybersecurity breaches. Reducing the costs with cybersecuring the beneficiaries may be achieved by typifying the solutions. For this purpose, criteria are selected and categories of beneficiaries are defined.
