Summary
The subject deepens knowledge in the area of critical infrastructure protection. Demands of legal environment are presented with links to the status and tasks of public administration, legal entities and physical entities – entrepreneurs, during critical infrastructure protection. Basic procedures for implementing the risk management and crisis management during the proposal of critical infrastructure protection measures are explained in the subject. Students gain an overview of the ways of critical infrastructure protection in particular EU and NATO countries.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students can recognize links and relations inside critical infrastructure systems. They orientate to the fundamentals of assessing the security systems of critical infrastructure elements. They can apply procedures of risk management and crisis management in critical infrastructure protection process.
