Practical elements of risk-based thinking in critical entities Part III.

Practices of critical organizations

Abstract

In accordance with European Union regulations, Hungary has also established a legal framework. Legislation pertaining to domestic critical organisations and infrastructure was enacted at the end of 2024. Under the new rules, conducting exercises is one of the most effective tools for assessing the resilience and preparedness of critical organisations and infrastructure. These exercises are also vital for organisations significant to the country’s defence and security. After developing resilience plans and receiving approval from the authorities, all critical organisations must conduct a resilience exercise independently. This exercise must be held at least once a year, starting in 2026. This article continues from the two previously published parts on practical risk-based thinking. The authors aim to support professional preparation and practical implementation of resilience exercises.
