Abstract
The critical infrastructure (hereinafter referred to as CI) is a complex unit made up of a plurality of elements, which are mutually connected. CI covers processes, systems, equipment, technology, to ensure the functioning of the state in and civil society. In society, you need to make every CI element working. The failure of the CI element can lead to disruption of the functioning of the relevant sector, for example, transport, energy, industry, which can lead to disruption of basic service delivery. A serious outage would have a negative impact on society. The most important sub-sector of CI is the electricity sub-sector. The current life of citizens and the functioning of the company is dependent on the supply of electric energy. Since the year 2013, the electric energy is considered a unique critical sector in the framework document PPD-21. Increasing the security of the elements incorporated into this subsector can be achieved by increasing the level of resilience. Increasing the level of resilience of elements can be achieved through self-assessment by operators. Self-assessment can analyze the current situation and give answers to the questions addressed.
