Strategic Partnership Between AKI SR and India Resonates in Indian Media

30. júna 2026

The strategic partnership between the Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic and the Indian government organization Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has generated significant media attention in India as well. The topic of cooperation in quantum technologies, digital security, and critical infrastructure protection has appeared in several Indian media outlets and on professional platforms.


The Memorandum of Understanding between AKI SR and C-DOT was signed in the context of the historically significant visit of the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, to Slovakia, which took place on 15 June 2026. This was the first-ever official visit by an Indian Prime Minister to the Slovak Republic since the establishment of independent Slovakia, during which relations between the Slovak Republic and India were elevated to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership.


Modern technologies, artificial intelligence, quantum communication, cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure protection were among the key topics discussed by the two Prime Ministers. The importance of this cooperation is also confirmed by the extensive media attention in India, where numerous media outlets reported on new technology partnerships and memoranda signed during the Indian Prime Minister’s visit to Slovakia.


Several major Indian media outlets and official government communications paid special attention specifically to the cooperation between AKI SR and C-DOT. They are available at the following links:

The partnership between AKI SR and C-DOT represents an important step towards building international cooperation in the protection of critical infrastructure, secure communication technologies, and the development of quantum solutions for the needs of the state as well as strategic sectors of the economy.


The international response confirms the growing importance of the Slovak Republic as a partner in modern technologies, digital transformation, and critical infrastructure security.

When Blood Plasma Is the Target of a Cyberattack: Healthcare Can Be Put at Risk This Way, Too

9. novembra 2026
A cyberattack does not have to target a hospital information system or medical devices to have potentially serious consequences for healthcare delivery. An attacker may gain access to a system that appears, at first glance, to be part of the technical infrastructure - for example, a system that controls refrigeration units used to store blood and blood plasma. An incident in France in early November 2026 highlights the risks at the intersection of cybersecurity, industrial control and the operational continuity of healthcare services.

Keď je terčom kybernetického útoku krvná plazma. Aj takto môže byť ohrozená zdravotná starostlivosť

9. novembra 2026
Kybernetický útok nemusí zasiahnuť nemocničný informačný systém ani zdravotnícke prístroje, aby mal potenciálne závažné dôsledky pre poskytovanie zdravotnej starostlivosti. Útočník môže získať prístup k systému, ktorý na prvý pohľad pôsobí ako technické zázemie – napríklad k riadeniu chladiacich zariadení na skladovanie krvi a krvnej plazmy. Incident z Francúzska zo začiatku novembra 2026 poukazuje na riziko, ktoré vzniká na rozhraní kybernetickej bezpečnosti, priemyselného riadenia a prevádzkovej kontinuity zdravotníckych služieb.

Introducing the Essential Critical Infrastructure Services: Storage of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products

The Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic continues its series of articles devoted to the individual essential services defined under Act No. 367/2024 Coll. on Critical Infrastructure. This time, we focus on a service that is not immediately visible, yet without which it would be difficult for every litre of fuel in a Slovak tank to reach the consumer: the storage of crude oil and petroleum products.

Critical Infrastructure in Practice: Obligations and Procedures for Critical Entities

3. novembra 2026
Identifying an entity as critical does not bring its obligations to an end. On the contrary, it marks the beginning of a period during which the entity must assess risks to the provision of its essential service, prepare a security plan, and implement measures to protect its critical infrastructure.
