The German Federal Republic is one of the states whose state policy in the field of cybersecurity is considered to be coherent and effective. However, even Germany is a country exposed to numerous attacks. Ubiquitous technology in every aspect of our lives, and in addition the COVID-19 pandemic, introducing widespread mobile work and online education, have created even greater threats. By adapting internal legislation, indicating strategic and specific goals, Germany is part of the EU cybersecurity policy in its cybersecurity strategies. Prior to the adoption of the NIS 2 directive, Germany had already created a legal basis that would effectively and efficiently protect German cyberspace. In order to strengthen the effectiveness of their cybersecurity policy, Germany is strengthening cooperation between federal authorities, business, science and strengthening digital sovereignty.
