AKI Introduces RSS Feed for News Section: Enhancing Access to Critical Infrastructure News

23. apríla 2025

Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic (AKI) has recently implemented an RSS feed for its News section, providing streamlined access to important updates about critical infrastructure developments in Slovakia.

The feed, available at https://www.akisr.sk/feed/rss2, represents a significant step forward in AKI's digital communication strategy.

What the RSS Feed Offers

The newly launched feed delivers content in both Slovak and English, covering essential topics related to critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity standards, and regulatory developments. Recent articles include in-depth coverage of post-quantum cryptography standards in Slovakia and comprehensive information about critical infrastructure protection frameworks at both European Union and Slovak Republic levels.

Content is authored by industry experts including Matej Michalko, Chairman of AKI's Supervisory Board, who provides valuable insights on national security matters and infrastructure resilience requirements. The feed currently features detailed articles about the implementation of NIST post-quantum cryptography standards, news regarding critical infrastructure in Slovakia and the world alike, and Slovakia's approach to critical infrastructure protection under new legislation.

Industry is one of the sectors where the importance of critical infrastructure becomes very tangible. Not in abstract definitions, but in the state’s ability to maintain the availability of medicines, the continuity of metallurgical production, supplies of key chemical substances, functioning supply chains, and technological self-sufficiency at times when standard market mechanisms may not be enough.

Priemysel patrí medzi sektory, pri ktorých sa význam kritickej infraštruktúry ukazuje veľmi konkrétne. Nie v abstraktných definíciách, ale v schopnosti štátu udržať dostupnosť liekov, kontinuitu hutníckej výroby, dodávky kľúčových chemických látok, funkčné dodávateľské reťazce a technologickú sebestačnosť v časoch, keď štandardné trhové mechanizmy nemusia stačiť.

In the morning, we open the refrigerator. In a shop, we reach for bread, milk, meat, pasta or fruit. In a cafeteria, a child receives lunch; a hospital patient receives a special diet; and a senior in a social services facility receives a warm meal. Most of us do not think about it. Food simply “is”.

Ráno otvoríme chladničku. V obchode siahneme po pečive, mlieku, mäse, cestovinách alebo ovocí. V jedálni dostane obed dieťa, pacient v nemocnici diétnu stravu a senior v zariadení sociálnych služieb teplé jedlo. Väčšina z nás nad tým nepremýšľa. Potraviny jednoducho „sú“.

In this series, the Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic (AKI SR) is gradually introducing the individual essential services listed in Annex No. 1 of the Critical Infrastructure Act – in other words, those activities without which the economic and social life of the state would quite literally grind to a halt. After the previous instalments, this time we turn to a service that most people have never heard named, yet rely on every second of the day: electricity demand management.

Asociácia kritickej infraštruktúry SR v tejto sérii postupne predstavuje jednotlivé základné služby uvedené v prílohe č. 1 zákona o kritickej infraštruktúre – teda tie činnosti, bez ktorých by sa hospodársky a spoločenský život štátu doslova zastavil. Po predchádzajúcich dieloch sa tentoraz pozrieme na službu, ktorú väčšina ľudí nikdy nepočula pomenovať, ale spolieha sa na ňu každú sekundu dňa: riadenie odberu elektriny.

The Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic (AKI SR) continues to connect state institutions with domestic technology companies that develop innovative solutions contributing to greater resilience of critical infrastructure. One such example is AKI SR member company Foss Fibre Optics, s.r.o., a Slovak manufacturer of cutting-edge optical technologies used to protect strategic facilities, secure critical communications networks, and monitor infrastructure.

Asociácia kritickej infraštruktúry Slovenskej republiky pokračuje v prepájaní štátnych inštitúcií s domácimi technologickými spoločnosťami, ktoré vyvíjajú inovatívne riešenia prispievajúce k zvyšovaniu odolnosti kritickej infraštruktúry. Jedným z príkladov je členská spoločnosť AKI SR – Foss Fibre Optics, s.r.o, slovenský výrobca špičkových optických technológií, ktorých využitie nachádza uplatnenie pri ochrane strategických objektov, zabezpečení kritických komunikačných sietí a monitorovaní infraštruktúry.
