Germanys New Cybersecurity Law: Balancing Defense and Privacy

Germany is drafting a new law to bolster its cybersecurity capabilities, following Russias invasion of Ukraine. The law grants security forces the power to shut down IT systems, redirect data traffic, and even modify data on foreign servers in severe cases. While officials emphasize the need to counter suspected Russian attacks, the country remains cautious due to its past. The law requires most interventions to be court-approved, but urgent situations allow for quicker action. Providers must cooperate or face hefty fines. This draft aims to enhance Germanys cyber defense without resorting to full-scale counterattacks.
