Germany's Cyber Security Under Stress Test

Germany faces escalating cyber threats from state and non-state actors, targeting businesses and critical infrastructure. Ferdinand Gehringer argues that Germany’s cybersecurity framework is outdated and inefficient, requiring urgent reforms. He advocates for a stronger, independent BSI, enhanced public-private partnerships, streamlined cyber defense structures, and better legal frameworks for digital forensics. Strengthening education and training is crucial for building long-term cyber resilience.
