The area of digital technologies is currently the subject of many cyber threats, the frequency of which is increasing. One of the areas of cyber security is also the creation of models and estimates of the process of cyber threats and their possible financial impacts. However, some studies show that cyber-threat assessment to identify potential financial impacts for organizations is a very challenging process. A relatively large problem here is the detection of scenarios of cyber threats and their expression in time. This paper focuses on the design of an algorithm that can be applied to the field of cyber-threat assessment in order to express the financial impacts. The study is based on an in-depth analysis of the insurance industry. The results obtained in our research show the importance of the time perspective for determining the potential financial impacts of cyber threats for the field of insurance.

To successfully deal with emergent events or crises, it is necessary to have a fully planned integrated rescue system (IRS). The stages of the IRS are tested by exercises that aim to model rescue and clean-up operations as closely as possible. This article compares different software tools to support the creation and implementation of exercises of different stages of the IRS. The article aims to compare suitable software tools and evaluate their application in the individual phases of creating tactical exercises in the IRS and application to the implementation and evaluation phase. Methods of explanation, comparison, and modeling are used to achieve the goals. It was found that the investigated software programmes are all suitable for use in the organization of exercises. The results are shown in a comparison table and examples of individual model situations. The article presents possible implementation scenarios of software tools for creating and organizing exercises of stages of the IRS, which can make the preparation of both tactical and screening exercises more efficient.

Nowadays, shooting weapons are widely used and highly demanded not only by the state armed forces but also for other civilians who are buying firearms for sport purposes or their own protection. These include category D shooting weapons which can be owned, held, carried and used without a gun license in the Czech Republic by people older than 18 years. Even these shooting weapons are able to cause serious injuries. Therefore, this research paper describes one specifically chosen shooting weapon of category D and compares the depth of incomplete penetration for different types of ammunition. For our purpose, the airgun model TEX 086 was selected because air guns are widely used in the Czech Republic. This was tested on alternative ballistic material.

The increasing aggression in the population, which is undoubtedly associated with the onset of narcissism, also entails an increase in the number of assaults in society. Of course, the number of clashes when a Weapon is used is also increasing. In most cases, these are weapons classified as weapons of category D (according to the Czech legislation), especially air guns, expansion weapons, and airsoft guns. This fact needs to be addressed, not by impulsive bans under duress, but by subjecting these weapons to the investigation, especially in the field of wounding ballistics, which answers the questions about the wounding potential of these weapons. This paper deals with one of these weapons, specifically airsoft gun with used ammunition lead shot. The depth of the shot and the size of the temporary and permanent cavity in relation to the distance were investigated, the contact distance was measured, and then the distance of 5 m.

The predictability of cyber threats is a major challenge in a dynamic digital world. One of possible approach to determine the financial impact of cyber threats is to identify vulner-able areas of the organization. However this area is primarily of interest to financial insti-tutions, many studies show us that this problem is very complex and involved. The es-sence of cyber threats are changed in time very dynamic, which can lead to a greater risk-iness of digital environment. The aim of this paper is to describe an algorithm through which it is possible to evaluate the areas of an organization that may be most vulnerable to the impacts of cyber threats. For this purpose was identified the most important areas in information environment. This paper is also focused on defining the correlation between cyber threats by their development over time from the point of view of the predictability of possible financial impacts. The proposed method was verified on organization, which was selected for our research.
