Critical infrastructures (CRITIS), such as waterworks, hospitals or utilities, also work with digital systems. These facilities, which are essential for everyone, must be particularly well‑protected against cyberattacks. The requirements for secure IT infrastructure are particularly high for CRITIS companies.
Operators of critical infrastructures are legally obliged to keep their IT systems up to date and to protect them as best as possible. The IT programs used must not only meet the highest security standards, user-friendliness, flexible integration into legacy systems and smooth operation are also essential. Software and certificate solutions must therefore follow a holistic approach. Hardware components, such as firewalls or security gateways, have a key role to play within IT infrastructure at private companies and public authorities. The digital transformation of the public administration and highly regulated industries calls for extensive measures that must be taken to ensure the confidentiality, authenticity, integrity and availability of IT infrastructures.
The companies of the Bundesdruckerei Group offer tailored solutions for operators of critical infrastructures, the public sector and industry that meet high security requirements. This way, we are helping to secure IT infrastructures, official communication and digitized administrative processes against threats.
