Guidelines for Protecting National Critical Infrastructure

Abstract

The identification of key infrastructure units as critical infrastructure agencies is established as a measure to deal with evolving threats and hazards, whether in preventing attacks, reducing risks, minimizing damage, or aiding in recovery. For both critical infrastructure and critical information infrastructure agencies, operations must be integrated and inseparable, starting from legal frameworks and responsible agencies, sectoral division, and designation of critical infrastructure agencies for control and oversight. Subsequently, the process involves five steps: identifying assets within critical infrastructure units, Risk identifying and assessing vulnerabilities, standardization, analysis, and prioritization, prevention operations, and performance evaluation. It is imperative that agencies designated as critical infrastructure must ensure that their cybersecurity measures align with international standards to effectively respond to rapidly changing cyber threats and be prepared to efficiently address future cyber threats.
