Cyber Defence in Germany: Challenges and the Way Forward for the Bundeswehr

Leinhos, Ludwig. "Cyber Defence in Germany: Challenges and the Way Forward for the Bundeswehr." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 1 (2020): 9-19.

Policy Highlights

In Germany, the provision of cybersecurity—i.e. a condition where risks from cyberspace have been reduced to an acceptable minimum—is a whole-of-government task. This is laid down in the 2016 White Paper, the current basic document on German security policy. There are few areas where internal and external security are as closely intertwined as they are in cyberspace. This includes the joint protection of critical infrastructure.

National Cyber Defence Policies and the Role of International Cooperation

Tarien, Jaak. "National Cyber Defence Policies and the Role of International Cooperation." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 1 (2020): 5-7.

Digitalization has made our societies vulnerable to cyber threats – from electric grids to elections. This is also true for militaries, and cyber defence has become a natural task for all defence organizations. Cyber threats cannot be considered as new threats anymore. However, the cyber threat landscape is changing rapidly, and will continue to do so. Malicious viruses, hackers, hacking, etc., are still part of this landscape, but cyber weapons and cyberattacks originating from nation states are the primary security concerns today.
