ASAP Completes Secure Connectivity Infrastructure for Sofia Municipality with a Focus on Cyber Resilience and NIS 2

ASAP has successfully completed the large-scale and complex project for building a comprehensive secure connectivity infrastructure between Sofia Municipality and its district administrations. The solution has been implemented using high-end Fortinet products and technologies and establishes a modern, protected and centrally managed communications environment.

The project is among the largest and most significant technological initiatives of Sofia Municipality in the area of network connectivity and cybersecurity. The delivered architecture ensures secure data exchange, control over network traffic, high operational resilience and effective management of communication between key administrative structures.

In the context of growing regulatory requirements and the European cybersecurity framework, including the NIS 2 Directive, the implementation of such infrastructure projects is of key importance for strengthening the resilience of public organisations. The newly introduced secure, observable and centrally managed network environment is an important step towards better risk management, faster incident response and a higher level of protection for critical information systems and administrative services.

With the system now in operation, Sofia Municipality benefits from centralised monitoring, a higher level of protection, improved coordination between the individual administrations and greater resilience in the operation of key information systems. The infrastructure has been designed and built to meet contemporary requirements for security, scalability, reliability and operational continuity in the public sector.

“With the completion of this project, Sofia Municipality gains one of the most modern secure connectivity environments in the public sector in the country. In the context of NIS 2 and the heightened requirements for the resilience of public organisations, solutions of this kind are no longer merely a technological upgrade but a strategic necessity. The implementation demanded careful planning, serious expertise and precise coordination between all parties involved — and the result is an infrastructure ready to meet the future challenges facing digital administration,” said Petar Zyumbilev, Managing Director of ASAP.

The completion of the project delivers a higher level of cybersecurity, more reliable administrative communication and improved technological readiness for Sofia Municipality to develop modern electronic services. By deploying a modern secure connectivity infrastructure, Sofia Municipality takes an important step towards a more resilient, protected and efficient digital administration.
