What are examples of critical infrastructure?

Critical infrastructure includes essential systems and assets vital for society’s functioning and security. Key examples are:

  • Energy: Power plants, electricity grids, oil and gas pipelines.
  • Water and wastewater: Treatment and distribution systems.
  • Transportation: Airports, railways, ports, and highways.
  • Communications: Telecom networks, internet infrastructure, satellite systems.
  • Healthcare: Hospitals, emergency medical services, pharmaceutical supply chains.
  • Financial services: Banks, payment processing, stock exchanges.
  • Food and agriculture: Food production, processing, and distribution networks.
  • Government and defense: Military systems, emergency response networks.

Disruptions to these can cause severe social and economic damage, making their cybersecurity a top priority.

What is critical infrastructure cybersecurity?

Critical infrastructure cybersecurity is the practice of protecting digital systems and networks that support critical services from cyber threats such as hacking, ransomware, and sabotage.

It focuses on:

  • Securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks.
  • Defending against unauthorized access and data breaches.
  • Monitoring for cyber threats in real time.
  • Ensuring rapid detection and response to incidents.
  • Maintaining continuous operation to prevent service disruptions.

Effective cybersecurity reduces risks of attacks that could endanger public safety or national security.

What are the main regulations regarding critical infrastructure cybersecurity?

In Europe, critical infrastructure cybersecurity is primarily regulated through:

  • NIS2 Directive: Sets stricter requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and cybersecurity governance for essential services, including energy, transport, healthcare, and digital infrastructure.
  • EU Cyber Resilience Act: Requires manufacturers of connected devices and systems to ensure secure design and vulnerability management.
  • EU Cybersecurity Act: Establishes the EU cybersecurity certification framework to improve trust in ICT products and services.
  • ISO/IEC 27001 and IEC 62443: Widely adopted international standards for managing information security and securing industrial automation systems.

Globally, organizations may also follow NIST guidelines (such as the NIST SP 800 series) for protecting critical infrastructure.

How can critical infrastructure operators protect their systems?

Operators can strengthen cybersecurity by:

  • Network segmentation: Separating IT and OT networks to contain threats.
  • Zero trust security: Continuously verifying user and device identities before granting access.
  • Real-time monitoring and threat detection: Using specialized tools for industrial environments.
  • Secure device management: Ensuring firmware integrity and timely patching of vulnerabilities.
  • Incident response planning: Preparing to quickly contain and recover from cyber incidents.
  • Compliance with regulations and standards: Aligning security programs with NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001, IEC 62443, and others.
  • Employee training: Raising awareness about phishing, social engineering, and insider threats.

Implementing these measures helps minimize risks and maintain the reliability of critical services.
