Germany’s federal cabinet approved a law to strengthen cybersecurity, granting expanded powers to the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), and the Federal Police. The legislation aims to provide a legally secure framework for detecting and countering cyber attacks. It will enhance the authorities’ ability to investigate and identify ongoing attack campaigns and to intervene against large-scale attacks that could cause significant damage. The BSI will be able to detect preparatory actions more effectively, while the police and BSI will gain additional tools to prevent or mitigate attacks on critical infrastructure and digital services. The measure reflects the government’s response to rising cyber threats from state and non-state actors.
