The scope of this scientific article concerns the enhancement of the Resilience of strategic critical infrastructure facilities. The research emphasizes the crucial role of critical infrastructure and the necessity of adequate Resilience as part of its proactive protection approach. Risks and threats to critical infrastructure security are identified in three main categories (cybersecurity, human factors, and natural hazards). Based on the classification, opportunities for resilience enhancement are presented, along with recommendations for future improvements, with a primary focus on the physical and cyber security of critical infrastructure entities. The research is achieved through the application of documentary analysis and theoretical review, providing academic knowledge and practical solutions for the researched area.
