An additional amount of HRK 1.6 million was approved to City Gaswork Zagreb for the project to improve cybernetic security

More than million euros of grants for cyber security projects

Considering the number of end customers and the amount of gas distributed, City Gaswork Zagreb is the largest Croatian gas distributor and is recognized by the Cyber ​​Security Act as an operator of key services where a high level of cyber security is required.
A year ago, when the process of capacity improvement began, City Gaswork Zagreb managed to realize more than one million Euros of funds co-financed by CEF Telekom through a package of three projects.

CEF Telekom is a fund that contributes to the development of the European Union’s digital single market by investing in Member States’ digital infrastructures, with the aim of strengthening cooperation and stakeholder capacity for the EU's cybersecurity strategy.
