National Critical Information Infrastructure Identification Methodology

EU

Challenge

Knowing and protecting national critical information infrastructures is one of the core pillars of national cybersecurity. Each government has a duty to protect the provision of essential services to its citizens, and as many of these services today are reliant on information systems, their reliability and security are high on national agenda.

But how does the government know which information systems are so important that their disruption is simply intolerable and stricter security measures and higher protection is required?

Solution

Methodology for identification of national critical information infrastructure was developed and put into law. The methodology was successfully applied to produce a list of national critical information infrastructures, which was subsequently approved by the Cabinet.
