The EU-CIP (European Critical Infrastructure Protection) project has released a new white paper focused on the future of public administration infrastructure resilience across the EU.
Titled “Critical Infrastructure Protection Challenges and Best Practices in the Public Administration Sector: A 2030 Outlook”, the paper outlines key vulnerabilities facing government services in the context of:
- Cyber threats
- Natural disasters
- Hybrid attacks that blend digital, physical, and disinformation tactics
🚨 Key Insights
The report warns that many public sector systems remain underprepared for evolving risks and increasingly interdependent infrastructures. It identifies gaps in:
- Risk modeling and scenario planning
- Crisis coordination across local, national, and EU levels
- Legacy systems and supply chain security
🛡️ Strategic Recommendations
To address these challenges, the white paper proposes EU-wide action across four critical areas:
- Enhanced risk assessment frameworks tailored for public services
- Interagency cooperation protocols for more agile crisis response
- Public–private partnerships to leverage expertise and innovation
- Resilience-by-design strategies aligned with digital transformation goals
This publication reinforces EU-CIP’s mission to strengthen the security and continuity of essential services across the European Union.
