Approved National Cybersecurity Strategy for 2026 to 2030 Will Strengthen Critical Infrastructure Protection

4. februára 2026

Slovakia has a new strategic compass for protecting digital space. 

The Government of the Slovak Republic today approved the National Cybersecurity Strategy for 2026 – 2030, which responds to dynamically growing cyber threats and brings a clear vision of how to strengthen the resilience of the state, public institutions and critical infrastructure. 

The Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic was also actively involved in the creation of the document. As part of the inter-ministerial review process, it submitted expert inputs that were reflected in the final version of the strategy, which confirms the strong professional position of AKI SR and its ability to bring concrete and implementable solutions. 

The material was submitted by the National Security Authority, a strategic partner of AKI SR. The cooperation, also anchored in a memorandum of cooperation, has once again proven to be a functional model of linking the state and professional practice. The common goal is to ensure that the adopted measures do not remain only on paper, but actually help protect energy, transport and public information systems on which the daily lives of citizens depend. 

However, with the approval of the strategy, the work is only beginning. This will be followed by the preparation of the Action Plan for the implementation of the National Cybersecurity Strategy for 2026 – 2030. It is precisely this that will determine the specific steps and measures that will ensure the practical implementation of the strategy. AKI SR will continue to be an active partner of NBÚ and a guarantor that the voice of critical infrastructure is heard in all important decisions.

Industry as a Critical Sector: The Final Article in AKI SR’s Series on Critical Sectors

3. augusta 2026
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 ako kritický sektor: posledný článok zo série AKI SR o kritických sektoroch

3. augusta 2026
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. 

We Talk a Lot About Technology in Critical Infrastructure. We Talk Too Little About People.

O technológiách v kritickej infraštruktúre hovoríme veľa. O ľuďoch málo.

10th Critical Infrastructure Sector: Production, Processing and Distribution of Food

28. júla 2026
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”.

10. sektor kritickej infraštruktúry: Výroba, spracovanie a distribúcia potravín

28. júla 2026
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“.

Electricity Demand Management: The Unassuming Pillar Behind a Reliable Power Supply

23. júla 2026
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.

Riadenie odberu elektriny: nenápadný pilier, na ktorom stojí spoľahlivá dodávka elektriny

23. júla 2026
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. 

AKI SR Creates Space for Cooperation Between the Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic and Its Member Company Foss Fibre Optics

20. júla 2026
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.

AKI SR vytvorila priestor pre spoluprácu medzi Ministerstvom obrany SR a svojou členskou spoločnosťou Foss Fibre Optics

20. júla 2026
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.
