Security – Ensuring Operational Continuity and Resilience
In the strategic area of operational continuity and resilience, the focus is on protecting Lithuanian airports from geopolitical threats, potential service disruptions, and cyber vulnerabilities. Key initiatives include strengthening cybersecurity, increasing the resilience of physical and digital infrastructure, and playing an active role in ensuring national security.
