Impact of Cyber Risks and Threats on the Critical Infrastructure Development: Visualization of Scientific Research


Aleksy Kwilinski and Nataliia Trushkina


Abstract: In the global world, there is a constant dynamic process that leads to structural changes (economic, social, organizational, environmental, etc.) of objects and infrastructure networks in a multi-component spatial system. At this stage, the issue of transformation of economic systems through the transition of key elements of critical infrastructures to a qualitatively new level of development due to adaptation to risks and threats of the external environment is becoming particularly relevant. One of these risks is cyberattacks on important infrastructure facilities in the energy, IT, financial, transport sectors. According to the European Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA), the number of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure in the EU increased in 2019-2020 by 2 times, or from 150 to 300. According to expert estimates, global losses from cyberattacks in 2020 amounted to approximately 945 billion dollars. In this regard, this study is devoted to the analysis of the impact of cyber risks and threats on the development of critical infrastructure using bibliometric and trend approaches. The purpose of the article is to identify the main directions of scientific research, assess the dynamics of publishing activity, as well as identify key trends and gaps in this field. As part of the study, a bibliometric analysis of the database of scientific publications was carried out to identify the most cited works and authors, as well as a trend analysis to identify changes in research topics. The results of the study will allow obtaining a holistic view of the current state and prospects for the development of research in the field of critical infrastructure development, taking into account cyber risks and threats, which can contribute to the formation of more effective strategies and policies of cybersecurity and the protection of critical infrastructure objects in the countries of the world.

Keywords: National Economy, Critical Infrastructure, Cyber Risk, Cyber Threat, Cyberattack, Cyberwars, Cybersecurity, Cyber defense, Cyberspace, Digital Environment, Development Strategy, Bibliometric Analysis, Trend Analysis
