Schleswig-Holstein to boost critical infrastructure security
The Schleswig-Holstein state government is implementing new measures to protect critical infrastructure, specifically targeting ports and energy supplies. Following discussions regarding potential sabotage threats, Minister President Daniel Günther emphasized the state's vulnerability due to its position between the North and Baltic Seas.
Interior Minister Magdalena Finke announced the development of a comprehensive situational report on the state of critical infrastructure, which will include information below the police threshold. This initiative aims to create a unique cooperative monitoring system. Additionally, the state plans to introduce a new confidential communication platform and purchase underwater drones for police testing to defend against aerial and aquatic threats to vital facilities. A legislative proposal is expected in the coming weeks to clarify the detection and verification powers of infrastructure operators.
