description Critical infrastructures are complex operating environments that often require special protection and security. A successful security strategy design should adhere to the principles of durability, integrity, and regularity. In the European Union, there is a strong interest in the security of critical infrastructures, especially those with interdependence. Given the fact that critical infrastructures play an essential role in a country’s economy, it makes them even more vulnerable. The main aim of this article is to analyze the critical infrastructures’ cyber security policy. The creation of a security strategy requires identification of the needs for equipment, mode of operation, and required security level. It has to establish rules for precise operation and handling of situations. The article tackles the issues of security strategy for critical infrastructures to protect sensitive areas and sectors. In addition, a cybersecurity policy as a countermeasure is discussed.
