Current state of criminal protection of the critical infrastructure facilities

Abstract

The scientific analysis of the current state of criminal law, which establishes criminal liability for encroachment on critical infrastructure or their information infrastructure, and evaluates their effectiveness in terms of systemic criminal law protection. It is revealed that currently the level of criminal protection of critical infrastructure is insufficient and unsystematic. This is due to: the lack of legislation that establishes criminal liability for socially dangerous acts, an individualized approach to critical infrastructure in general and its facilities in particular; not taking into account in criminal law the modern development of organizational and legal principles of critical infrastructure, etc. The authors propose concrete steps that will contribute to the protection of domestic critical infrastructure by criminal law.
