Security is the most important issue, especially when it comes to critical infrastructure. The threat to their normal functioning undermines the vital functions of entire regions, cities and states. For example, hacker attacks are a real danger not only to such objects owners, but especially to large industrial technology and information systems. The results of such failures are catastrophic, which is why this bill is being actively discussed in Ukraine.
The vast majority of civilized countries are concerned with the protection and security of their CI facilities, especially when it comes to protecting information systems (so-called cybersecurity, etc.). Because in the global world, the security of the state is limited not only by its borders, it becomes a common cause of many.
The potential losses of companies and government agencies, which they may suffer in the event of damage or destruction of critical infrastructure facilities, are irreparable, especially when it comes to poisoning of water, flora, fauna, all living things.
