The article studies the methodological principles of how public-private partnership evolves in the area of critical infrastructure protection, analyzes the regulatory basis for evolving of public-private partnership in the specified area, provides examples of foreign experience of how to develop public-private partnership, and proposes a way of implementing public-private partnership in critical infrastructure protection, which is aimed at further development of publicprivate partnership, introduction of new information and educational technologies, use of forward-looking ways of education and active teaching methods, as well as modern teaching and methodical materials, which in aggregate form the basis for comprehensive human development and well-being of the population as a whole.
