Federal Office For Information Security (BSI)

The BSI (Bundesamt fur Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik) is the federal cyber security agency and the chief architect of secure digitalisation in Germany. Our objective is the secure use of information and communication technology in government, business and society. We provide support for information security, allowing it to be understood as a prerequisite for digitisation and implemented independently.

We assume responsibility for all issues related to information security. We protect the federal administration from cyber attacks and monitor the current cyber security situation nationally and internationally, investigate and assess existing security risks and anticipate the impact of new developments. We support citizens, companies and authorities at federal, state and municipality level with services in the core areas of information, consulting, operational protection and development, including standardisation and certification.
