Description Cyber security becomes omnipresent within the society, stakeholders are taking actions necessary to reassure general public and to enhance the level of protection. One of the ways seems to be to incorporate cyber into existing frameworks for critical infrastructure protection. This text demonstrates how the introduction of cyber strains existing frameworks and demonstrates certain misconceptions on the case study of the legal change in the Czech Republic. Introducing cyber leads to selective choice of specific type of interdependency, while it ignores other significant types. The paper observes large discrepancy between the macro-level definitions and micro-level procedures and concludes that changes in the existing legal framework present a securitization exercise without significant added value.
