prerequisite
Knowledge
The student is expected to have a basic knowledge of the legal, terminological and theoretical framework of critical infrastructure protection and protection of soft targets in a broader context.

learning outcomes
The student will gain advanced knowledge in relation to the process of determining the character, structural properties of infrastructure systems. Furthermore, in the field of practical analysis and risk assessment of specific reference objects. As part of the issue of designing permanent and temporary security measures. In connection with the definition of technical means of protection or the definition of personnel and procedural means of protection.
