German institutions and businesses that fall in the « critical infrastructure » category will have to implement new information security measures, as defined by the new IT security law passed on Friday by the German Bundesrat (the country’s « Federal Council »).
According to RT, over 2,000 water and energy utilities, telecoms, health providers, transportation companies, and finance and insurance firms – in short, providers of services essential to the uninterrupted day-to-day life of German citizens – will either have to comply with the new law or pay fines of up to €100,000.
