Ochrona obiektów infrastruktury krytycznej – bezpieczeństwo państwa i obywateli

Critical infrastructure plays a key role in the functioning of the state and the lives of its citizens. Due to natural disasters or those being a consequence of human activities, critical infrastructure can be destroyed or damaged, and its functioning can be disrupted, which can pose a threat to the lives and property of the citizens. Simultaneously, such events negatively affect the economic development of the state. That is why protection of critical infrastructure is one of the state’s priorities. In the years 2015 and 2016, NIK examined the regularity of the protection of critical infrastructure items. The audit was also a response to numerous media reports on failures or incidents that could pose a threat to critical infrastructure items in the country. The audit comprised selected critical infrastructure administrators, the Government Security Centre, regional governors and local self-government units.
