MANAGEMENT OF THE EU’S INTERNATIONAL POLICY IN THE AREA OF PROTECTION OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

The article defines the principles of management of the protection of critical infrastructure objects from the position of international policy of the EU countries. The main stages of development of EU cooperation in this area were studied. The possibility of implementing the EU experience in the management of the security of critical infrastructure in Ukraine has been justified. The structure of protection of critical infrastructure objects in the EU is analyzed. The place of the corporate sector in these issues is considered. The importance of insurance companies and medical centers in this sphere was underlined. Analysis of critical infrastructure protection programs helps to identify the principles, processes and tools that propose the implementation of security systems. Implementation of these projects will be completed in appropriate cases specific to the communications sector. The authors emphasize that nuclear safety should be the focus of the EU and each country’s governance bodies, so the EU Joint Research Center solves key scientific and technological challenges in nuclear safety. Based on the analysis of foreign experience, it is noted that the scientific and practical interest for use in Ukraine in the process of protection of critical infrastructure objects can be the activity of structures created for the purpose of monitoring and analysis of open information. On this basis, the ways of ensuring the security of the objects of the critical infrastructure of Ukraine have been defined. It is noted that international policy should be based on legislative acts, which are coordinated for coordination by a single center. It is concluded that Ukraine’s security policy is developing in the context of implementation of European standards of formation and operation of critical infrastructure.
