The concept of critical infrastructure was already known in a number of ancient civilizations across different continents. Critical infrastructure was considered vital, enabling civilization a proper functioning. The purpose of this article is to present reason and sequence of practice actions for selected Poland associated administrative offices and countries organizations. A cause and an historical overview of the preparation of the United States, European and Polish critical infrastructure protection was provided. According to the manuscripts, critical infrastructure of majority of nations concerns systems and physical or virtual resources, damage or destruction of which, impairing the national and citizen security. Polish European Union membership accession requires for this article to be examined regarding the European programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection.

Abstract The link between national security and the protection of critical infrastructure is vital to the progress of any society and its proper social functioning. The term critical infrastructure was developed by the United States in the 1990s and it has evolved in time; nowadays, most of the current definitions include the security dimension in their content. Along with its many benefits, the technological advancement has brought with it the diversification of threats that could lead to the malfunctioning of critical infrastructures. The new weapons of the 21st century and the new asymmetric threats constitute real dangers to the good functioning of every critical infrastructure. Once they may be interrupted, the normal functioning of the whole society would be endangered because of the domino effects it causes. In this article we will look at how the link between critical infrastructure and national security is reflected in national regulations and crisis scenarios, highlighting the main strengths and the existing legislative gaps along with discussing their applicability.

National Infrastructure

The United States` Critical Infrastructure System (CIs) represents an umbrella concept grouping all those resources that are essential for national economic, financial, and social system. These critical infrastructures are vital and without them, or with any damages to them, would cripple the nation, states, and/or local communities and tribes. Based on a systematic review approach (methodology), this paper aims to review the United States’ Critical Infrastructure Protection System (USCIPS) at tree aspects. In section one, the policy pillars of USCIPS are outlined based on studding Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21) and National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). Section two discusses the interdependent nature of the sixteen critical infrastructure sectors and identified the further designation of life-line sectors. Final sector introduces USCIPS stakeholders, collaboration and partnership across between the private sector and public sector stakeholders.

The Public

An essential task in critical infrastructure protection is the assessment of critical infrastructure vulnerabilities. The use of scenario sets is widely regarded as the best form for such assessments. Unfortunately, the construction of scenario sets is hindered by a lack in the public domain of critical infrastructure information as such information is commonly confidential, proprietary, or business sensitive. At the same time, there is a wealth of municipal data in the public domain that is pertinent to critical infrastructures. However, to date, there are no reported studies on how to extract only the most relevant CI information from these municipal sources, nor does a methodology exist that guides the practice of CI information mining on municipal data sets. This problem is particularly challenging as these data sets are typically voluminous, heterogeneous, and even entrapping. In this chapter, we propose a knowledge-driven methodology that facilitates the extraction of CI information from public domain, i.e., open source, municipal data sets. Under this methodology, pieces of deep, though usually tacit, knowledge acquired from CI domain experts are employed as keys to decipher the massive sets of municipal data and extract the relevant CI information. The proposed methodology was tested successfully on a municipality in the Southeastern United States. The methodology is considered a viable choice for CIP professionals in their efforts to gather CI information for scenario composition and vulnerability assessment.

Further Development

Critical infrastructure protection represents an essential part of the European Union security concept whose dynamic development has been actively taking place since 2004. Based on a systematic review approach (methodology), this paper aims to provide an assessment of the evolution and contribution since mentioned period of the European Union infrastructure protection policies. The first part discusses the EU's critical infrastructure policy for 2004-2008 that laid the groundwork for the adoption of the Council Directive 2008/114/EC of 8 December 2008. The second section explains the main political and legal features of the Council Directive 2008/114/EC of 8 December 2008 as well as requirements to be implemented by EU member states in order to comply their national systems with the standards of the Directive 2008/114/EC. The third section presents the results of a study on EU policy developed in 2008-2020 parallel with Directive 2008/114/EC. Final sector introduces recent Past and present cooperation activities within the European Union for further development of the critical infrastructure protection system at the EU and Member States national levels.
