CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SAFETY AND PROTECTION IN SLOVAK REPUBLIC – RESEARCH AND EDUCATION

Zdenek Dvorak, Bohus Leitner, Lenka Mocova

Abstract


The problem of security and the critical infrastructure protection in the European area is becoming more topical which can be proved by the current security situation in the world. Our society must react to the current security situation and new migration-related issues.  One of the challenges we are facing is fostering security research and education in the field of security management in the most important areas of human life. The aim of this paper is to present the generally defined basic terms and aspects of understanding the problem of security and protection of critical infrastructure. Our task is to define the need of education in the field of management of critical infrastructure security. The paper also presents the purpose and contents of the new study programme at the Faculty of Security Engineering of the University of Žilina and its graduate profile. There are also stated some topical problems related to implementing this study programme.
