Abstract
The protection of Critical Infrastructures (CI) is, by definition, of high importance for the welfare of citizens, due to direct threats (dictated by the current international political situation) and also due to their dependencies at international and European levels. Today, Greece remains one of the countries of the European Union, which has no comprehensive strategy to safeguard national CI, nor any process of developing such an integrated plan, except for some initiatives taken from the General Secretariat of Digital Policy. This paper aims to contribute to: (i) The creation of an inventory of all stakeholders, (legislative, supervisory or regulatory) involved in CI protection in Greece, (ii) the identification of potential national CI, as well as their interdependencies, (iii) the development of a structured identification based on impact assessment methodology for national CI, that takes into account internationally applied CI assessment methodologies, and (iv) provide a pilot implementation of the proposed methodology.
