Advancing digitalization is leading to an increase in the networking of devices and services, which significantly increases the attack potential for cyberattacks. At the same time, the threat of phishing, malware, AI-supported attacks and other vulnerabilities is increasing. These developments highlight the need for a broad-based, society-wide approach to promoting cyber security. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has therefore been organizing a dialogue on cybersecurity since 2016, which systematically incorporates different perspectives and stakeholders. ConPolicy and nexus are providing organizational and methodological support for two workstreams. These workstreams aim to develop concrete solutions to current cybersecurity issues.
The two workstreams for 2024/2025 deal with the following topics:
- Cybersecurity in society - the role of the CRA for open source
- White card for special exemplary behavior in information security
