Milestones to increasing the resilience of critical infrastructure 2022-2025

Abstract

In Hungary, the regulation on the protection of the elements of the essential services has been establishing special rules for more than ten years in order to ensure the continuous operation of the designated organizations. The change in the security environment, the coronavirus pandemic along with technical and technological developments, and the emergence of threats in addition to risks have required increased measures on the allied, European and national levels.

As a result, NATO's basic requirements for civil preparedness, the EU Directive on the resilience of critical entities and, new legislation on critical entities in Hungary, have been published. In this article, the authors describe the most significant points of the change in the regulations and the milestones of the introduction of the international legal environment and of the Hungarian member state legislation.
