Summary/Abstract: Bearing in mind that the European Union is one of the key factors on the international scene when it comes to the protection of critical infrastructure (CI), it has launched a number of initiatives and research programs to protect CI. In this regard, the EU has studied various aspects of critical infrastructure protection, as well as the impact they have on damaging or destroying critical infrastructure on various segments of human activity, such as telecommunications, education, health, transport and others. The terrorist attacks in Madrid in 2004 and London in 2005 drew special public attention to the danger of attacks on critical infrastructures. Subsequently, the European Council asked the European Commission to prepare a comprehensive strategy and action plan to improve the protection of European Critical Infrastructure (ECI), which it did.
