We encourage you to explore a blog post by Sigita Rackevičienė ‘English-Lithuanian Language Resources for the Cybersecurity Domain’, which outlines the collaborative scientific research in cybersecurity undertaken by Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) and Vytautas Magnus University (VMU), along with the outcomes of this endeavour.
The article provides a comprehensive overview of the collaborative project DVITAS (Bilingual Automatic Terminology Extraction) undertaken by scientists from VMU and MRU. The ‘English-Lithuanian Parallel Cybersecurity Corpus – DVITAS’ (2022), the ‘English-Lithuanian Comparable Cybersecurity Corpus – DVITAS’ (2022), and the ‘English-Lithuanian Parallel Cybersecurity Corpus – DVITAS v.2.0’ (2024) are presented.

In the contemporary digital landscape, cybersecurity plays a crucial role in the everyday lives of individuals. Consequently, researchers at VMU and MRU have undertaken studies in this domain, aiming to provide clarity and stability in a dynamic and rapidly evolving field. The plethora of new terms presents numerous challenges when translating texts into Lithuanian, and the ambiguity of concepts, along with the absence of established terminology, can create problems.
Linguists, translators, correspondents, editors, IT specialists, and other professionals who work with languages or IT technologies should take note of the Lithuanian-English Cybersecurity Termbase. This valuable resource offers not only the terms in English and their translations in Lithuanian but also provides definitions, uses in context, and additional helpful information.
The article also discusses a survey carried out by scientists Sigita Rackevičienė (MRU) and Andrius Utka (VMU) ‘Survey Data on Preferences of Lithuanian Cybersecurity Terminology‘. This survey was designed to determine the categories of terms (loanwords, metaphorical calques, or descriptive terms) that respondents prefer and to examine how their preferences vary across different respondent groups. For additional details regarding this survey, please consult the 2024 scientific article by Sigita Rackevičienė (MRU) and Andrius Utka (VMU) ‘Preferences of Lithuanian cybersecurity synonymous terms in different user groups’.
