Security-Related Advanced Technologies in Critical Infrastructure Protection

Abstract

In the study, the author analyzed the basic conceptual environment of smart nations, the information security challenges, threats and dangers inherent in it. In the second half of the research, he seeks to answer the question of what are the most commonly used protection solutions against the threats that arise. To do these, the author has analyzed the available relevant literature and peer-reviewed reports to identify the areas most affected by potential threats, such as networks, clients and users, and the associated potential protection solutions. The analysis has produced a matrix illustrating which vulnerable areas could potentially benefit from protection solutions against typical attack vectors.
