Abstract
The object of research: risk assessment for critical infrastructure protection in Ukraine. Investigated problem: adaptation and implementation of European Union’s approach to the risk assessment for critical infrastructure for the conditions of Ukraine. The main scientific results: The most relevant types of threats of natural and man-made origin for the security of critical infrastructure in Ukraine are investigated. The adaptation and implementation of European Union’s approach to the risk assessment for critical infrastructure for the conditions of Ukraine is realized. For this the character of changes of natural and man-made emergencies in Ukraine in the context of impact on critical infrastructure is investigated. The risk of economic losses due to emergencies in Ukraine has been evaluated with the use of risk matrix, taking into account the adapted approach applied in the European Union. Field of practical use of research results: Critical infrastructure facility including systems and physical or virtual resources that provide functions and services, failure of which can lead to significant negative consequences for society, social and economic development of the country and ensuring national security. Among them the most important are objects of electric-power industry, especially important objects of the oil and gas industry; units of the state government and local administration; objects of possible terrorist attacks; facilities subject to protection and defense in emergencies and during special periods; facilities subject to mandatory protection by the State Protection Service under contracts. Innovative technology product: methodology for assessing threats and risks to critical infrastructure, which can greatly contribute to the development of measures to prevent and minimize the negative consequences of emergencies possible in Ukraine at critical infrastructure objects. Scope of the innovative technology product: state system for critical infrastructure protection in Ukraine.
Highlights
In many countries around the world, especially EU and NATO member states critical infrastructure protection is recognized as a priority in national security policy
The analysis shows the growing threat of a decrease in the security level of numerous critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine due to the over-exploitation of structures, constructions, equipment and engineering networks that operate on the brink of exhaustion of their resources and pose serious risks of natural and man-made emergencies for the safe operation of critical infrastructure objects [12, 13]
The analysis of the obtained results shows that the high risk of economic losses in Ukraine is for emergencies due to fires, explosions and meteorological emergencies, which pose a permanent threat to objects of critical infrastructure, and to the population and the environment of the state
Summary
In many countries around the world, especially EU and NATO member states critical infrastructure protection is recognized as a priority in national security policy. Innovative technologies in industry of emergencies with large-scale negative consequences due to the threat of damage and destruction of critical infrastructure (CI) facilities. Among such objects, spatially distributed railway tracks, oil and gas pipelines, bridges, potentially dangerous production facilities, truck power grids, whose safe operation is supremely important for the socio-economic development of Ukraine, are concerned
