Abstract

Critical infrastructure (CI) is determined by Law on disaster protection� as the system or parts of it which are essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security, economic or social well-being of the population and whose disruption or destruction would have significant negative consequences for the Republic of Bulgaria as a result of the failure to maintain these functions�. The article offers key measures for the protection of the national critical infrastructure, the importance of which is assessed by an expert team. It includes 23 respondents who are mainly academic staff from the Department of National and Regional Security, the Centre for Strategic Studies in Defense and Security at the University of National and World Economy. During the assessment, it was used a scale from 1-lowest grade to 10-the highest grade. Improving the protection of the critical infrastructure refers to its continuous development and permanent improvement. The security of the protection means ensuring a greater safety and invulnerability. Sustainability of the protection requires higher reliability and resistance. The stability of the protection is associated with maintaining and strengthening relevant parts of the CI.
