Greece is advancing a national plan to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure against a growing range of hybrid and cybersecurity threats, with a particular focus on energy facilities that officials regard as increasingly vulnerable amid geopolitical tensions.

A central pillar of the effort will be a new General Secretariat for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure, to be established under the supervision of the Ministry of Citizen Protection.

The body will be responsible for coordinating, monitoring and implementing a national security plan covering a broad range of sectors, including energy, telecommunications, water networks, transportation and health services.

The pace of the initiative is expected to be shaped by a broad meeting scheduled for Wednesday under Thanos Dokos, national security adviser to the prime minister.
