IT Crisis Management
Information systems have become vital arteries for the modern state, society and the economy. System failures can be threatening and might have existential consequences. Under the auspices of BSI are four main entities responsible for the German IT crisis management :
- CERT-Bund (national Computer Emergency Response Team),
- IT Situation Centre (monitoring and early warning),
- IT Crisis Reaction Centre (national crisis management) and
- Cyber Response Centre (cooperation with other federal agencies).
