Le infrastrutture critiche all'alba dei cyber attacchi

This contribution intends to examine the evolution of the concept of critical infrastructure within the European legal framework. This analysis reflects the shift from a sector-specific to a cross-border perspective, in which the advent of the cyber domain and the impact of Covid-19 pandemic have elevated the importance of new sectors of critical infrastructures. Among these, public administrations have gained particular prominence, and in particular, the adoption of the NIS II Directive has recognised them as critical infrastructure, due to their central role at both national and European levels.
