The provision of a robust and resilient critical infrastructure is essential to modern western life and this project directly assists infrastructure operators to be more resilient by validating their defences, detection ability and incident response. It also supports them in their need to demonstrate compliance with the NIS2 – CER Directive. These are all of benefit to society, as users of critical infrastructure and to the owners and operators of the infrastructure and their employees.
Critical entities, as providers of essential services, play an indispensable role in the maintenance of vital societal functions or economic activities in the internal market in an increasingly interdependent Union economy. It is therefore essential to set out a Union framework with the aim of both enhancing the resilience of critical entities in the internal market by laying down harmonised minimum rules and assisting them by means of coherent and dedicated support and supervision measures.
