More security in cyberspace As in the offline world, the government also has a responsibility in the networked world to avert risks and criminality. We acknowledge this responsibility for public IT security and want to play our part in protecting society and the economy in the digital age. This requires a strategic realignment of the cyber security architecture and better resources for security authorities in terms of technology and staffing. zzTo do this, we will also provide the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution with the appropriate infrastructure and technical analysis tools to improve the analysis of existing data and to make communication patterns much more visible. zzWe will expand the expertise in the Federal Office for Civil Protection in the area of impact analysis of cyber attacks on critical infrastructures. zzWe will bolster international cooperation in this area, zzWe are strengthening the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Improving the resources made available to the BSI will be part of this process. zzThe National Cyber Response Centre is a platform that we are using to improve cooperation between specialised authorities. The Centre will be assigned a greater coordination role in the operational handling of cyber security incidents. zzWe are improving technical and staffing resources for the security authorities and providing them with the technical and legal capacities they need to perform their role. zzWe are strengthening the expertise of the Federal Crimi- nal Police Office and the Federal Police in the areas of cyber crime, cyber espionage and cyber security. This means that we will expand the Cyber Crime Centre, which analyses and investigates incidents in these areas, in the Federal Criminal Police Office. We will thus house the processing of all Internet activities relating to these incidents under one roof. zzWe will adapt the criminal law to the digital age and in particular close any loopholes in criminal law relating to the handling of stolen data. zzIn the area of cyber espionage, we will reinforce meas- ures implemented by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution to raise awareness of business security. zzWe will strengthen the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution strategically and organisationally to enable a better response to changes in the types of communication and the communication behaviour of terrorists and extremists. 33 e.g. with ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency) and Europol‘s European Cybercrime Centre.
